TuneUp looks for a match to those clues in a database of songs maintained by Sony Corp.’s (SNE) Gracenote.

The software identifies songs by taking clues from information you’ve embedded in your music, as well as sampling the song’s digital fingerprint. With TuneUp hooked on to the right side of the iTunes program, you drag “dirty,” or mislabeled, songs into a box identified by a spray bottle of cleaner. TuneUp’s greatest asset is that it works seamlessly with iTunes (for Mac and PC). While I was reluctant to pay $19.95 for a year’s subscription to a service I reckon should be in iTunes for free, TuneUp has largely delivered on its promise to scrub my music collection with minimal effort, making sure tracks were properly titled and adding extras like album cover art. I’ve been testing one by San Francisco startup TuneUp Media that’s available to download online and buy in Apple’s stores. Several companies have developed programs that tap into vast databases of songs to tame music collections. I’ve got songs by Beyoncé (with accent), Beyonce (without accent), Beyoncé Knowles (with accent) and Beyonce Knowles (without accent).
Many songs are missing the correct album titles and cover art-or just show up in Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) iTunes with mysterious names like “Track04.” Over the years I’ve used several programs to import and buy music, resulting in wild inconsistencies in my collection. My digital music collection is over a decade old, and it’s as disorderly as a drawer of mismatched socks.
