Well, after reading through all these comments I really don’t think I will proceed any further with buying this product. Maybe someone can tell me which is the best alternative.

Totally crap .. it makes you think that if you put the correct data in and save it that it uses that… not the case you open it up in another music player and it’s all the wrong info .. useless program I have had to use another one… it even totally screws the album images too .. even for the ones that is does look up correctly. you have to get all the details soo close to being right it’s stupid. I used magic mp3 tagger and feed it some tracks like … track 1 … track 2 … track 3 only with the artist name and it got them all right … problem is I found all this out after supposedly fixing a bucket load of songs!!! totally pee’d off. don’t get this at all .. shame on you fixtunes!

try magic mp3 tagger for fixing files and then MediaMonkey to do the album art .. works fantastic.

oh one more thing … it picked U2 genre up as EMO lmao .. emo wasn’t even around back then …. useless …

did I forget to say useless .. nope .. what about stupid dumb waste of my damn time, screwed up my song .. grrrrr …. smashes closest object!!

For those of you looking to complete your album artwork collection, I’ve recently released MuvUnder Cover: The Album Art Sleuth, http://www.muvundercover.com/ , that only deals with album artwork.

It supports embedding album artwork covers in all of the major file formats including APE, ASF, FLAC, M4A, M4B, M4P, M4V, MP3 MP4, MPC, MPP, MP+, WMA, WMV, and WV.

Since it is a newer program, if you have any issues or suggestions, please let us know.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. This thing is just as terrible as everyone says. It replaced my perfect Album art with nothing and renamed a ton of songs to be in compilations and the ones that were in compilations were renamed to original albums. This product will do more damage than good, especially if you don’t listen to typical pop music. I spent a good 5 or 6 hours undoing the damage this piece of crap did.

This program is awful, it completely ruined my iTunes collection. Before I found this I had spent ages collecting info and sorting it all out. I tried to get this to finish the job, but it completely rearranged everything.

Grrr!!

Wow, I can’t believe how bad this program sucks. It didn’t get ANY of my tunes right, not a single one.

I paid retail price for this software and found it is nothing short of a RIP-OFF! I have had so many problems with this software not working correctly and searching the incorrect album information from Amazon that it makes me sick. Crashes all the time and ZERO customer support…notice they have no contact phone number…I’m sure that’s by choice not chance. If you read this PLEASE DON’T BUY THIS CRAP SOFTWARE!

I’ve was going to try fixtunes but after seeing these comments I went searching for an alternative and ran across MusicBrainz Picard which is free to use. I used it to fix about 1000 songs which I had ripped off CD’s over the years and had never gotten around to labeling correctly. It handled over 900 the first time through with just lookup and 80 of the remaining 100 using digital signatures. Its easy to use but clearly not as simple as fixtunes.

I agree with CoCo. After waiting overnight, “FixTunes” aka FuxTunes, tagged 4,576 songs incorrectly. I was hoping to just pull down album art but now I have to try to really Fix my Tunes manually. The undo function is one song at a time. Total waste of money and now a waste of my time.

by: Coco

I paid for this piece of crap because I had too many songs to go through individually. It “fixed” about 1000 out of my 8000 songs, which I found to be fixed wrong. Even songs that had the exact artist, album, and title from itunes or windows media player could not be found or were changed to odd titles such as 1.2 or other random numbers. Not a good program.

Bought Fixtunes, it kept crashing on me and was confusing to use (I’m using Mac version). I’ve had great success with Jaikoz (Windows and Mac versions), which uses the audio fingerprint to look up music via MusicBrainz, an open source music tag library. Check it, and be satisfied!

I paid for this program about 2 weeks ago. I loaded it onto my G5 OS X Mac version 10.3.9 and all that came up was the install screen and the icon. The site said that the version was for os x 10.3.9 or higher. well I emailed customer support and they got back to me two days laiter saying that I had to delete it and then reload it. This didn’t do shit. I went to some more sites and from what I can see they are saying that they are updating the system. Well it say ” We will be back running in a couple days” but its been 9 already.

I have a huge collection… Seems to be working… but has taken a loooong time to process the entire library. Hopefully the fix process will work.

For some reason, most of the data seems correct with the exception of genre. Not accurate at all with finding genres.

We’re still here…trying to make FixTunes the best program for organizing and updating your music. Your suggestions are great, just email us and we’d love to add new features that you’d like to see in future versions!

I purchased this program at a discount and boy am I glad, because I hate this program. I have pretty mainstream taste in music and it couldn’t even identify Billy Joel. I guess I will start looking for another program, because with this one I just end up typing the album info in myself.

I’m trying to find a way to organize all my music without losing my iTunes data, but I don’t want to let iTunes do it because it doesn’t let you choose the rename format. Is it possible to use FixTunes to move/rename my files and still keep the play data in iTunes? This review makes me think this is a possibility, but their website seems to indicate that when you rename your tracks, you’ll just have to re-import them all and start all over with play counts and ratings and such. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks!

I tried using 4.6 and during the look up step it crashed after the last song. After resetting the PC and fixtunes, it still crashes. Not Happy. Granted I have over 8000 songs and am using Windows Vista.

Best software I have used. I am using itunes as my default player and have tried many tagging and album art collecting sollecting software like iArt, mediamonkey ect… I have using v4.6 and its awesome. It picks out the correct song and album 8/10 time and if you dont automate the fixing process you can easly track down the incorrect ones. Searched over 1500 songs and going not too fast but its thorough. It also saves the session after its corrected all your files so you can manually accept the changes at your time. Overall I think the new version is fantastic and is defntly worth a try.v4.6 has a 50 song trial and you can always buy it if you think it suits you needs

I have been using v4.4 for about a month now, successfully tagging 761 out of the 1003 songs. I had a satisfactory experience, without any crashing on startup. We’ll see if this is the case in six months.

check out mediamonkey – better, cheaper

I am very much on the fence about buying this software. I loved the review, but the user comments are concerning. As for the CollegeRuled link above, beware…you need FIVE signed referrals just to get a code. They don’t tell you this until AFTER you sign up. User beware.

ps. Great iTunes custom library tutorial!

It sound like you are still using the old version. You can download the new version from here:

Very dissapointed with this software.. It works when you are evaluating it BUT after you purchase and enter the activation code, it starts to CRASH IMMEDIATELY. The NEW VERSION WOULD NOT even start up on my machine. And the only response you get from their technical support is install the new version.

I was just researching what other people thought of FixTunes because I started using the program a couple weeks ago to begin fixing my music collection. The Internet Explorer problem is fixed and I haven’t had any problems with crashes. I love it, it’s made fixing my music really easy! It has also been able to find a lot of album art that I hadn’t been able to add!

Same as most above comments, save your money and don’t buy this useless software.

There’s a link in their website for the updated version. Apparently crashes happens to those using Internet Explorer 7. Haven’t tried that though.
