SongGenie cleaned up my iTunes 
- Version: 1.1, 4/14/2009 07:33AM PST

The easter bunny brought SongGenie to me and I am totally overwhelmed. I own a pretty large iTunes library, a lot of mainstream music but also tons of rare titles. Especially these songs often only appeared as "Track 1", "Track 2", etc.
With SongGenie the mess and frustation is gone and my library looks very cleaned up. And it was so easy to include all the missing information. Actually, SongGenie 1.1 allowed me to automatically apply all identified track information in one go, which saved me a lot of time.
Listening to my iPod is much more fun, now, that I can actually see all song informaiton.
I cannot understand the other users, that rated the product before (maybe they should download the latest version 1.1 and try again). I only can say that I am very happy to own SongGenie.

I actually bought the program. Their registration process is way over kill for such a small app. I have a very large library (around 800 GB) so it took quite a while to create a list but when it was done I tried a dozen or so and they seemed to work well. It is going be kind of tedious with such a large library and so much missing content (I had to re-import my whole catalog when iTunes hiccuped). I wish you could script it to look for artist, album, etc and then group them together so you could install the correct data once instead of tune by tune. Their other product CoverScout could stand more automation also.

Like most Equinux products, the interface is artfully produced within the confines of the Apple user-interface guidelines, but functionally it falls flat. In demo mode with a library of around 10,000 tracks, it found about 20 "songs with missing information", but they were very weird finds indeed. It found a single track off an Andrea Parker DJ-Kicks album, with which it 'suggested' that the artist/track title fields should be swapped! Curiously, the other tracks on the same album (rightfully) avoided detection. Then, it found a single M83 track, the title of which is an asterix (*) -- correctly -- but if flagged it as "missing information". Then the $30 nagware kicked in, so I stiffed it. It's an interesting idea, but not $30 interesting.

Tried it on 16 (not obscure) songs in demo mode (reloaded 4 times) and it found only 1. It needs to do much better than this to be useful.

It's a great idea (originally pioneered years ago by the ever-so-ugly "iEatBrainz") which I have a need for, and the program seems to be beautifully, elegantly, professionally, and thoughtfully executed. My music library at the moment has 8,600 songs, about 500-1,000 of which need better tags. My tastes run to the fairly obscure, and I don't expect any program like this to successfully find them all, but after only three test songs, all of which provided wrong and/or redundant info, the demo stopped searching and instead popped up its $29.99 nagware screen each time I tried. I'm sorry, but three tests is just not enough to tell me whether the program will be useful to me or not. If I were flush with cash I'd fork up the money just to find out, but not at the moment.
2. the programmer says that it will fill in other missing information besides just the track name, album name, and artist. I wanted it to fill in Genres. The opening screen said it could, but that feature was not anywhere in the application - at least not that I found. If an application takes this long to figure out, it's not worth it if they want me to pay.
Save your money and use a different application.
