TunesMechanic for iTunes

TunesMechanic for iTunes helps you clean up an iTunes or Music library with duplicate songs, missing files, inconsistent names, and leftover data.

What you get

You get a tidier music library with fewer duplicates and wasted files.

TunesMechanic helps you clear clutter from your iTunes or Music library. You can find duplicate songs using criteria you choose, such as title, artist, duration, or bit rate, then select which copies to remove. You can also clear entries whose audio files are missing and delete empty playlists, so your library has fewer dead ends.

You can make song details more consistent by adjusting capitalization and removing file extensions from track names. If you want to clear existing information, you can reset song ratings or remove lyrics from track properties. You can also export tracks to your drive.

Beyond the library itself, you can reclaim storage by removing cached files, unnecessary artwork files, and iOS app or update files. Clearing cached data may also help iTunes or Music run faster. Missing-file cleanup removes broken entries; it does not recover the original audio.
