Meta-iPod cleans up your iTunes with tons of features

This is really useful if you're rebuilding your music library from scratch for some reason. You might think your iTunes metadata is gone, but it's right there on your iPod, waiting to be collected with meta-iPod. Unfortunately, for Mac users, this is one instance where Windows has an iTunes-related tool the Mac doesn't: meta-iPod is Windows-only.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game".

The program sucks, very buggy
Your only allowed to fix 100 songs for free and most of the "fixes" aren't even correct.
TuneUp beats this by a long shot and its the same price.
