I love iTunes and the advanced library management tools inherent in the program. Now that iTunes is a very nice podcatcher I use it almost exclusively for handling my music library. There are still some features that I always wished Apple would integrate into iTunes that have never appeared. My Freeware of the Moment pick today is a program that addresses some of those missing features. idleTunes is a standalone free utility that does a number of tasks that I find very useful:
- Find and insert album artwork into tracks
- Copy iTunes playlists to any MP3 player
- Export iTunes playlists as M3U, PLS, or B4S
- Remove “dead” tracks from your library (finally!)
- Create playlists for all of the albums in your library
- Create playlists for all of the artists in your library
- Delete user playlists
Note that like a lot of freeware idleTunes is in beta but I have experienced no issues with it so far. It also requires .NET 1.1 and iTunes 4.7 and later.
