TunesMechanic for iTunes

TunesMechanic reviews an iTunes or Music library for duplicate tracks, broken links, metadata cleanup and export tasks.

Our take

Pick for a backed-up music library that needs deliberate cleanup.

Configurable duplicate criteria and several repair operations address common library-maintenance problems.

Keep in mind: Review selections before deleting tracks, artwork, lyrics or caches. Similar metadata does not prove two recordings are redundant, and speed or space savings are not guaranteed.

What you can do

  • Find duplicates using chosen track properties
  • Remove broken references or empty playlists
  • Export tracks and clean selected metadata or cache files

Good for

  • Collectors maintaining an existing iTunes or Music library.

Consider alternatives for

  • People expecting unattended cleanup to preserve every unique recording and library detail.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: macOS 10.13.
  • Review selections before deleting tracks, artwork, lyrics or caches. Similar metadata does not prove two recordings are redundant, and speed or space savings are not guaranteed.

Privacy & permissions

Music-library access can reveal file locations and listening collections. Deletion and metadata changes affect local data; cloud-library synchronization can spread changes.
