Meta-iPod cleans up your iTunes with tons of features
Meta-iPod is a Windows app that can clean up and repair the metadata on your iTunes songs - stuff like star ratings and album artwork - with a whole bunch of useful automated features. It can find and delete duplicates and locate tracks on your computer that aren't in your iTunes library. It can also fix files that have been moved from their original location and thus unlinked from iTunes (the ones iTunes marks with a (!)).Additionally, meta-iPod can transfer music from an iPod to iTunes, and it can transfer star ratings and play counts from an iPod too. This is really useful if you're rebuilding your music library from scratch for some reason. You might think your iTunes metadata is gone, but it's right there on your iPod, waiting to be collected with meta-iPod. Unfortunately, for Mac users, this is one instance where Windows has an iTunes-related tool the Mac doesn't: meta-iPod is Windows-only.
