PowerTunes for Mac

Publisher's Description

From Fat Cat Software:

PowerTunes allows iTunes users to create multiple libraries, organize their music among multiple music folders, and share music and libraries between multiple users on a machine.

In addition to simply creating and keeping track of your libraries, PowerTunes also offers many additional features to help organize your music. Users can copy music back and forth between their libraries while maintaining all their ratings, play counts, and other information stored in iTunes. This allows libraries to be split up into smaller ones, or merged together into larger ones.

PowerTunes also offers a one-step solution for sharing iTunes libraries and music among multiple user accounts on a machine, allows users to fix dead tracks whose files have gone missing, finds orphaned music files in their music folders, and much more.

What's new in this version:

  • When copying or merging, we now show determinate progress while caching album artwork data, since that can take a while
  • We now prevent the iTunes license agreement window from coming up more than once after updating to a new version of iTunes
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when copying tracks or fixing dead tracks
  • PowerTunes 1.2 now requires at least OS X 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.0
  • Fi... See all new features

    "Excellent product"

    Version: PowerTunes 1.1.4

    Pros

    Great for managing, merging and maintaining large iTunes libraries across a home network

    Cons

    Not the speediest of programs, but very automated so easy to let run

    Summary

    I have a home networks with 4 desktop Macs, two laptops and a bunch of ipods, iphones, and iPads. My main music file is on a NAS (actually a Drobo hooked to a MacMini) but each of the desktops have their own iTunes library/Medial Folder. How to I keep all of our music centrally but let each computer have their own set of songs? PowerTunes!

    I can merge libraries yet exclude duplicates and maintain metadata across all the computers by periodically merging everyone's iTunes library with the central server. I was using Fat Cat's iPhoto Library Manager first, but when I heard about this somewhat analogous software, I also bought it. I have no connection to this company, but I'm happy with their projects.

    For those of you with growing Mac home networks, and a bunch of iTunes Libraries, this is the tool to bring it under control.

    "Behaves strangely and dangerously"

    Version: PowerTunes 1.1.3

    Pros

    Nice feature set in principle.

    Cons

    Bad things happen. It causes iTunes to act as though it is being opened for the first time, showing Agree to Terms window. iTunes opens with preferences reverted. When moving playists PowerTunes froze and some songs became delinked from their files.

    Summary

    Very risky in my short experience, with the possibility to create havoc. I have a large library of songs and would never use PowerTunes again.

    "Fantastic! A must have iTunes enhancement."

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    I don't often write reveiws, but my satisfaction with PowerTunes has gotten me to do so with this great piece of software. I have multiple iTunes libraries on different Macs -- as well as portable hard drives. PowerTunes makes it EASY to get things organized, and keep them organized. It integrates very smoothly with iTunes. The customer support is GREAT! I had a couple of questions about PowerTunes, and the developer Brian answered quickly with very helpful information. In my opinion this software is a must have for iTunes users.

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    I love this program. Once you figure out what this program does, if you need it, it becomes indispensable. I wish Apple would do something as advanced and creative, it would probably be a little more seamless. But until they do there's PowerTunes. I use it every day as I have a very large music library.
