TuneUp Review

I have been thinking about this review for a few days now. Especially after the shout-out I got from TuneUp Media on Twitter last week. I like to make sure everyone is properly represented whether it is for better or worse. After hours of focusing my Mole Shui in an attempt to come up with a detailed review of TuneUp and attempt to break it down into little bits of digital goodness I have come to realize I can’t.

TuneUp is so simple and does such a specific job so well that I’ve been forced by TuneUp Media to give more of a testimonial than a review. Perhaps for once the Moledi Master was the one to underestimate the power of the cool side….. Ummm, yea, no. Anyway, TuneUp is an add-on to your itunes or windows media player that allows dragging and dropping of music files directly into its panel. Why would you do this you ask? Well because the instructions tell you too, and, well because once you do that it starts to “listen” to the music so that it can match the song with their database. Once this happens it updates the file on your computer with proper tags and song details. You even have an option to review the suggestions before they are applied or undo them if you get click happy.

In addition to the song tune up (get it??) option you can also use their album art import feature to do the same type of magical goodness as before (minus the drag and drop even!). Both literally worked flawlessly. Out of all my songs TuneUp only had trouble with four (mixes of originals) and three albums in regard to the artwork. I haven’t looked at their social and concert options yet but frankly the first two were enough to justify the price.

Great work TuneUp Media and thank you for a great product! Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go find someone to choke out. Getting out smarted by a 2D guy with an antenna on his head is frustrating!!
