Let the album art downloads commence
I bit the bullet and bought a license for the application “TuneUp”, which is now in the process of going through my entire iTunes Library to fix my track and album names and info as well as download album art for the tracks. It seems to work very well, and a working 20%-off coupon code can be found at the TuneUp developer blog.
It’s a really cool program but I found that it was hogging my processor. What’s your experience?
I haven’t had much experience running it yet. I bought it the day of this post, and I let it churn through my entire iTunes Library in 2500 track chunks (ignoring its best practices recommendation of 500 tracks at a time as impractical). It seemed to work very well.
I haven’t yet tried to use it for anything other than a quick fix of all names and tags in my library, and for that flurry of activity I just hit ‘go’ and walked away, so I wasn’t really keeping track of how much CPU it used. I’ll have to see how it performs on a day-to-day basis before I form an opinion of whether it’s worth running whenever I use iTunes.
