ICloud – Restoring track information for iTunes Match files

iclouditunesitunes-matchwindows

I made the mistake of editing a bunch of songs at once. Now, the changes have propagated to all of my iTunes Match registered devices. I tried Advanced > Get Track Names, but I get the following message

iTunes cannot get CD track names for songs that were not imported using iTunes

get track names

The thing is, the songs were originally imported using iTunes before syncing with iTunes Match.

Is there an easy way to restore track information, or must I manually go through the tracks and fix them?

Best Answer

You must fix the track data yourself, however, that doesn't mean that you have to do it manually (but of course you can).

There is a myriad of software that aims to do this for you automatically. One that I can think of off the top of my head for Windows is TuneUp. It's a bit expensive, $40 for a year or $50 for "Lifetime". It runs along side iTunes and fixes it up when requested, or even automatically if configured.

There is plenty of other software I'm sure, some that aids the process of doing it manually, others that try to do it completely on it's own ala. TuneUp.
