TuneUp Tour Video from TuneUp Media on Vimeo. Songs that aren’t recognized are unchanged. It runs an audio fingerprint scan on the files and fixes the metadata on tracks it recognizes. You simply drag tracks you want tuned-up to the TuneUp window. TuneUp attaches as a sidebar window to the main iTunes window. In other words, if TuneUp recognizes tracks that you’ve downloaded from questionable sources, chances are that iTunes Match will also. The plugin is available for both Mac and Windows, and should give you a pretty good idea how your iTunes library will shape up when Apple releases iTunes Match. It can add song metadata to the myriad untitled tracks and fix mistakes like spelling errors. Using Gracenote’s MusicID, TuneUP scours your iTunes library, fixing mislabeled tracks.
Gracenote’s MusicID also powers TuneUp, a $30 plugin for iTunes that cleans up your music library. MusicID is not directly available to the public, but is used by Spotify, Yahoo Music, Winamp and Pandora, and many others. It is also behind the Genius recommendation engine. It is already built into iTunes - to add song and artist data to music ripped from CDs. In fact, there seem to be three 'versions' of no icon: (1) Matched iTunes found a match, even though you didn't purchase it through iTunes (2) Purchased you purchased this track from iTunes (for both of which, as mentioned, the version in the cloud may be better than the one you have) and (3) Uploaded with. It then matches songs against Gracenote’s vast library of music metadata. Gracenote’s MusicID is an advanced music-recognition system that can identify songs from CD, digital files like MP3s or audio streams. “… the iTunes Match service uses Gracenote MusicID to help recognize tracks in a user’s existing music collection.”

And all the music iTunes matches plays back at 256-Kbps iTunes Plus quality - even if your original copy was of lower quality. Which is much faster than starting from scratch. All you have to upload is what iTunes can’t match. Since there are more than 18 million songs in the iTunes Store, most of your music is probably already in iCloud. Any music with a match is automatically added to your iCloud library for you to listen to anytime, on any device. ITunes determines which songs in your collection are available in the iTunes Store. It makes your music library available in the cloud without having to actually upload it. ITunes Match is above all a convenience feature.
