A utility to help you manage your music library, including files and tags.
Our music libraries often get messy. This is an utility to help get them clean up.
This, currently, primarily operates on a iTunes based library. But a lot of the functionality is independent of iTunes and will continue to be expanded that way.
This has 3 main areas of functionality:
- Cleaning up the tags (meta-data) inside the music files
- Cleaning up the files, themselves, such as the filenames and paths
- Cleaning up the iTunes connecting information about those files
If you are just interested in using the program, you can download the latest release by the following process:
1 Go to the releases tab 
2 Then choose the MusicManager.zip
package 
3 Unzip the files somewhere accessible on your PATH
Refer to 'Usage' section below.
All usual disclaimers are applicable. Not responsible for damage or loss. Backup! Backup! Backup! before usage
Previously, iTunes was required to be installed before using. This requirement now seems to be removed. But it is still a bit fresh. Obvisously, if iTunes is not installed, none of the iTunes functionality will be available.
Currently, the rules and options on how to process are a bit 'baked in'. Next step is to extract those rules and options, so that people can customize to their own likings.
If you have iTunes installed, you should set the UseItunes environment variable to 'true', such as SET UseItunes=true and / or SETX UseItunes true. Otherwise, it will build with a pre-generated Interop.iTunesLib.dll.
