Step 1: Import your music library to the program

For iTunes library:

All the music on iTunes will be automatically added to the file tray under Tidy iTunes when the program opens.

For local music:

For music outside of iTunes, you can directly drag the music files or folders to the program under Tidy Music.

Step 2: Scan to identify songs and find duplicates

It works the same under Tidy iTunes and Tidy Music and we will take the Tidy iTunes window as an example. Click the Scan button after ticking the checkbox of “Search for Unidentified Songs” and “Search for Duplicated Songs”. The program will then start to scan the whole library to identify all the songs and find duplicates.

Step 3: Apply the information to the songs

After the scanning is over, click “Identified Songs” in the status bar. Select one song and its information will show in the right column. After checking, click Apply on the bottom right. Then the information will be added to the music files. You can also select several songs to apply at the same time.

Step 4: Edit the Information if you like

You can also edit the information after applying the found information. Click the Pencil icon shown in the following picture and fill-in the editing field or drag any image to the album art area.

Step 5: Remove duplicated songs

Click “Duplicated Songs” in the status bar. Then choose one song in the file tray and all files of the same song will show up in the right column. Usually the music file with higher quality will be put a tick and the lower quality a cross. Press the Dedupe button to remove the songs to trash.
