How to reorganize iTunes library

Is your iTunes library full of files with wrong or incomplete names? Would you like to combine the folders with the music you have scattered throughout the hard disk and organize the files according to the albums you belong to? I have the distinct feeling that you would do well to read the guide I am about to propose.

We are to see together how to reorganize iTunes library so as to assign the correct title to all the songs imported in the program (or almost) and organize the library in a single folder divided by album. All in a few clicks and without making the slightest effort. Come on, try it!

One of the best ways to reorganize iTunes library is to group all the songs that are added to the program in a single folder by cataloging the files based on the artist and album they belong to. It seems a complicated operation, but in reality, it does all iTunes, just tell him how to behave.

Then start iTunes and select the Preferences item from the Edit menu to access the program preferences. In the window that opens, select the Advanced tab and put the check mark next to Copy documents in the iTunes Media folder when they are added to the library to authorize the software to automatically copy the files added to the library in its folder, and under the heading Keep organized the iTunes Media folder to make the files inside the iTunes folder organized in sub-folders and renamed according to membership album and track number.

Then click OK to save the changes but pay attention to the disk space, because by allowing iTunes to copy all the files added to its library in the iTunes Media folder you risk finding yourself with a bunch of duplicates scattered around the hard disk. If you want some advice, from now on, after adding a file to iTunes, delete it from its original folder (thus avoid unnecessary duplication).

If you want to know how to reorganize iTunes library because you are tired of seeing all those songs without names or with strange names in your library (eg: Track 01, Untitled, etc.), there is no doubt. You need to contact TuneUp Media.
