iTSync Version 2.0.1
iTunes/iPod library and folder synchronizer, duplicate and dead file
eliminator
The name says it all! iTSync is a product to make
the daily use of iTunes a lot easier. One of the major issues with
iTunes is how it can clutter your music collection. From adding
duplicate tracks that already exist in iTunes to not monitoring
music folders. iTSync has two modes of operation- manual mode and
automatic mode.
Manual mode is for the complete clean up task. When
libraries are littered with duplicate and dead tracks and out of
date. iTSync doesn't stop there. IPod space is limited and must be
used efficiently. iTSync will detect duplicate and orphan tracks in
your iPod. Orphan tracks occur when the playlist on your iPod has
been deleted but the actual tracks still exists consuming valuable
iPod memory. Automatic mode is for the continuous
tasks. Running iTSync in the background will guarantee that your
library is always up to date and clean.
iTSync has six main functions:
- Finding and
removing duplicate tracks in iTunes based on 14 duplicate searching
criteria. Once duplicate tracks have been found use one of the
five intelligent duplicate selection criteria for removal
- Detecting and removing iPod 'orphan' tracks
- Detecting and removing iPod duplicate tracks
- Synchronizing the users iTunes library automatically
and manually
- Removing dead tracks (tracks
marked with an exclamation point in iTunes)
- Finding and adding or removing tracks not allocated to
a user defined playlist

What iTSync Can Do For You
Read below to see how iTSync can improve your iTunes
experience.
- iTSync will 'intelligently search your hard drive for music
files not added to your iTunes library. Once the missing files
have been found, the user can add or remove any and all files.
To prevent from endless searches, iTSync provides three
different searching depths. Keeping your library up-to-date and
freeing up valuable hard drive space.
- Periodically files get deleted or moved around, if these
files are being pointed at by iTunes it will create a 'dead
track' or a track marked with an '!' by iTunes (Sometime iTunes
does not mark these tracks until you attempt to play those
files). iTSync will efficiently search your entire playlist
looking for 'dead tracks' and removing those entries in your
iTunes library.
- Duplicate songs can be a real pain. Not only do they take up
hard drive space but can also clutter you iTunes library. iTSync
will search for all duplicates in your iTunes library using user
specified duplicate criteria and
provides a simple method for removing all your troublesome
duplicate files.
- Identical to the library duplicate removal, iTSync can
do the same for your iPod
- iPod memory is limited and therefore very valuable.
Sometimes iPod playlists have been deleted but the tracks still
exist hidden. These iPod tracks are called 'orphan' tracks.
Using iTSync you can detect and reclaim your valuable iPod disk
space.
- It is very useful and helpful to break your large iTunes
library into sections or categories. However, it is very
difficult to keep track of what songs have been allocated to
what playlists. iTSync will search through and compare all your
playlists and library and find all songs not allocated to a
playlist.
