HATE MUSIC; CAN'T USE iTUNES
I can't even figure out how to install this, even though the clone at Microsoft Care said I could before he put me on hold for 25 minutes. Microsoft Music is yet another "upgrade" that decreases functionality. My favorite album, which I bought through iTunes, is GONE, and I don't see a way to buy it. The HELP instructions don't match what is on the screen. My playlists are GONE. I was hoping this program would restrore iTunes to my computer, which the Microsoft Store "upgraded" to a system software I didn't want. But it doesn't. I HATE UPGRADES, and I don't know why we put up with them.
Just what the doctor ordered!
I work with music files everyday and for years had neglected to weed out duplicates from iTunes. In my version of iTunes there is no option for Find Duplicates as in older versions. So I decided to try TunesMechanic and am I ever happy I did. It removed thousands of duplicates right out of the box freeing up space on my hard drive and lightening the load on my PC. I must admit I was a little scared at first as the tiny ball kept spinning and the computer heated up. iTunes was drawing 97% of the CPU’s. I decided to shut down the computer for awhile so I quit TunesMechanic and shut down. I thought I might be in for trouble for doing that, but when I started back up later and opened TunesMechanic it started off right where it left off and finished the job. It’s a great program and very easy to use. Very happy to have it, and, at 5 bucks, you can’t help but give it a try. The negative ratings here should be taken with a grain of salt! Computer problems usually come with layers of other reasons for their occurrence.
works well- not perfect
It removes all duplicate tracks with one click which is great because on iTunes you need to select each one. A note of caution- make sure you check mark things like same: time and bitrate otherwise tracks with the same name which are totally different will be considered duplicates. Also make sure you leave the track with the best bitrate for you unchecked. One flaw that really needs to be corrected is that there is no way to tell the program which file to keep by default. For example, if you want the duplicate with the lower bitrate to be chosen by default you should be able to do that. Also things like, 'Do not remove if the song is part of a playlist' etc. Esentially there should be options.
Does not work
Tried to remove duplicates, selecteed the correct ones (no way to set auto selection as others describe), continued to work on deleting files, after 2 hours it unexpectly quit (what iOS described). so made it simple and selected 1 duplicate, spinning wheel of death for the next 45 minutes, then a pop up sayin complete. Nothihg deleted, nothing done, absolutely just takes your money. Would give negative stars if possible, one star suggests that it may possibly work, this app does absolutely nothing it describes. Will be asking Microsoft for a refund.
Works Great!
Make sure you have all the music in your iTunes folder in you users folder. If you have drop music from other drives they appear in your itunes but maynot have been copied to that folder. When you run the program it will not remove those files. Therefore you think the program is not working.
