Many of us have large iTunes libraries, some with thousands upon thousands of songs. It is usually when our iTunes libraries get too disorganised to manage that we realise we should have been cleaning it up as we go.

Rather than manually clean up your iTunes library, there are some time-saving solutions that will help fix up unsorted iTunes libraries.

Your first port of call would be to track down all the duplicate songs with the same artist and song name. This is easily done by using a built-in iTunes feature. Simply click the View menu and select Show Duplicates. This handy feature does the hard work for you and finds all the tracks with more than one copy. You can then sort through this list manually and delete those you don’t need.

There are also various software packages that can be downloaded to clean up your iTunes library. One such program, TuneUp, is a digital music management application that finds all the unnamed or incorrectly tagged tracks and updates them with their official listings. It claims to fix up to 90 per cent of disorganised and unidentifiable tracks.
