PowerTunes is a handy tool that helps you to organize multiple iTunes libraries and music folders on your Mac operating system. It has some interesting features that are as follows:
- At the Library: Create multiple iTunes libraries, instead of having all your music in a single library
- Clean it Up: Find orphaned tracks in your music folder and add them back to your library or throw ’em in the trash
- Deadbeat Club: Got tracks whose files are missing? Hook them back up or delete them quickly and easily.
- The Urge to Merge: Merge entire libraries together into one
- Bust a Move: Move your music folder to another location in one easy step
- Please Remember: PowerTunes remembers which music folder of your libraries uses, so you don’t have to
- Copy Cat: Copy songs and playlists between libraries while retaining all your play counts, ratings, and other data
- Share My World: One click sharing of your library among multiple users on your machine
- Paradise by the Dashboard Light: Easily open your libraries directly from Dashboard
