It doesn't integrate alongside iTunes well, and it's UX flow is god awful. MusicBrainz Picard - Picard is in a class all it's own. I note also their site says "Your Special Price", so there may be some sort of active deal at the time of writing. $30 for Song Genie, and $40 for Cover Scout. Unfortunately, this dream team duo is expensive. With a large, attractive, simple interface, it's actually pretty easy to whip through tagging in a quick manner (subject to the CPU speed of fingerprinting, and your internet connection for searching). It "rates" your data, and can fill in the gaps marvelously well (lyrics where you had none previously despite having plenty of other information). It works very nicely with the iTunes Library, or even any arbitrary folder on your drive. Song Genie uses fingerprinting to identify the song and pull in data. TuneUp is too small and has too few options for checking the details of the data, and Pollux is one-shot (though it allows you to rollback the last action, thankfully). Song Genie - I'm actually quite a big fan of the Song Genie and Cover Scout duo, perhaps solely because it's UI/UX is ahead of it's curve. You can buy TuneUp for $20 for a year (warning: automatically renewing), or $30 for life. Again, choose your song(s), tell it to "Clean Up", and off it goes searching the internet for all the same information you want to make your information clean as a whistle. It runs as a separate app that shrinks iTunes and places itself it the far right of it, like an even more annoying sidebar than Ping. TuneUp - TuneUp is similar to Pollux, except it's a bit. Updating your music with pretty information.Īfterward, you won't re-live this terrible memory. It goes about it's business pulling information, cover art, and more (where possible), then does it's work. It's UI is geared heavily towards albums, wherein you select all the tracks in an album, then click the Pollux icon in the menu bar, and then click "Tag". I believe this is the cheapest app that integrates as well as it does into iTunes. After negotiating agreements with companies that could provide plenty of helpful information, they re-launched the product with a 20 song tag trial, and unlimited tagging for $10. Pollux - Pollux was featured on (Amber MacArthur and Leo Laporte), and subsequently died off for months due to illegally using various APIs from services like (IIRC) MusicIP, GraceNote, and other big name commercial music vendors.

Only one of them is free (and go figure that one isn't exactly iTunes-friendly, not easily anyways). Four suggestions of apps I've used in the past.
