And if the films the situation is more or less easy, the huge music library, consisting not of one thousand songs, makes it difficult to find the right product. And this is especially true when half of your tracks are not registered tags, and the other half - are registered, but not in the encoding that is needed.

Welcome SongGenie window 2

In Mac OS, the main storage of your music is iTunes: by default, all the music is automatically copied to iTunes Media folder and reproduced exactly iTunes. And here there are two nuances which deposit a small but noticeable impact on your work with this application. Firstly, no prescribed tags look like something it is not aesthetic in the context of the Mac OS. Secondly, in the absence of the tag is lost is the main component of iTunes: nearly instant search any song in your library by keywords, which are the name of the artist, song, album, and so Further.

SongGenie 2 - this app is a real mediakombayn, will allow you to quickly and easily set all your tracks right tags and set the album art for each of them. About themselves and how they cover additions - just below.

The principle of operation SongGenie 2 is based on a comparison of the numerical order of each composition database, which contains information on a huge number of music files. Similarly Shazam running an application designed for iOS devices.

SongGenie main window 2

When you first start SongGenie 2 program scans your library in iTunes and reflects its content in the main application window. In the settings SongGenie 2, you can specify additional folders in which to search for music. Recognized formats - MP3, AAC, MP4, Apple lossless format, and AIFF.

The program interface is very similar to Time Machine. Your tracks are represented in the form of long windows alternating sequence one after the other and where the flue to infinity. Each window - a kind of business card of a musical composition. Here it is reflected all the basic information belonging to the track: the name of the artist, song, album, and year of publication of the album and its cover. A special place is reserved for the words to the songs.

Cards for use with media data

On top of each window shows three guitars. This is - the three pillars on which rests the entire information about the track. Depending on how the song is filled with business card, it is assigned to one of the guitars or all at once. It is made for easy navigation among the thousands of pieces in your library and edit only those tracks that need.

At the bottom of the window - Identify button. This is perhaps the main button in the app and you will enjoy it more often. It allows you to send information about the composition at the application server for analysis and receipt of valid tags for the track.

After receiving the tag in front of the card, there will be red labels that say that the composition has the wrong tag or tags may be supplemented. In order to apply the changes you need to click «Apply». In this case, the tags will automatically be prescribed and in the iTunes library.

Found new tags that can be applied

Now on the cover! I have already said that SongGenie 2 is a real "processor": work with the album covers are engaged in a separate application, CovertScout 3. And even if you do not confuse the different sequence of numbers: these two applications run in a bundle, as a team!

Cover Search for the album took place on Amazon servers, but you can easily change the list to access the application settings.

Search results are displayed above. Depending on the degree of coincidence and the quality of the cover (because they may have a different resolution) results assigned from one to four stars and the letter of the search server, for example: A - Amazon or G - Google

Working with covers in 3 CoverScout

Despite the powerful search tools, yet sometimes CoverScout 3 can not find cover. In this case, you can manually add artwork to the album with the command Show Cover Clipboard or hot keys - Cmd + K. SongGenie 2 allows for on the selected file group operations: track analysis, the search covers, as well as the words to the songs.

Unfortunately, SongGenie 2 works perfectly with the tracks of foreign performers and does not understand our, domestic. So, if you have the entire discography of Alla Pugacheva and Dima Bilan, you have some work to do.

The disadvantages SongGenie 2 include the lack of auto-tagging function on the basis of information already entered in the library. However, this feature is implemented in iTunes, which also can group data conversion.

Despite minor flaws, SongGenie 2 and comes with her complete CoverScout 3 program is a powerful tool for managing and organizing your media library stored in iTunes or in any elsewhere.
