Managing Music Collection in Your iPhone

When the original iPod was released 10 years ago, almost everyone wants to get hold of this compact mp3 player. Then the iPhone was released. Aside from the usual call and text combination, the iPhone is now packed with features that render the original iPod, and its succeeding models, redundant. iPhone these days is capable of storing media files that can work as your mp3 player as well.

Now that you own an iPhone, it is now your obligation to manage your music files with a good iTunes organizer to make your listening experience more personalized. Here are some tips on how to manage and organize your music collection in your iPhone.

Create playlists

A lot of people have their own preference of music depending on the mood. Instead of shuffling your iPhone until you find your song choice, why not make a playlist? You can organize your favourite songs into a folder and label it accordingly. But if you think that sorting the music manually takes a lot of time, use the smart playlist and let it do the job for you. Just set the criteria you want for every playlist such as the most played or songs with low play count and the job will be done for you.

You can find free music

Everything comes with a price. Fortunately, iTunes has a Free section on iTunes page that allows you to download music, music videos, TV shows and other media files for free. This can be a perfect addition to your collection. This can be added to your playlist too, if you wish.

Remove duplicate files

Duplicate files not only cause confusion but it also eat up space in your memory. The good news is iTunes lets you know whether there are duplicate files in your library.

Incorporate an album art for proper identification

When looking for a particular music in your iPhone, it is easier to see whether you found the file you are looking for using the picture or album art. When organizing your music library in your iPhone, make sure to have an album art as well.

Automatically sync any iTunes folder

If you really want to get complete albums of your favourite artists or even episodes of your choice, you need to cash out a few dollars for it. As a result, you opt for other online resources to download media files. To sync your music, download the iTunes Folder Watch app and it will automatically sync your music files into iTunes which you can also transfer to your iPhone.

Use the iTunes Genius feature

If you have thousands of songs in your iPhone, categorizing it one by one can be tedious. If you want to listen to certain songs that have something in common, use the iTunes Genius. It creates a playlists depending on the sound or mood of the songs.

Correct mislabeled tracks and album arts

Again, managing thousands of songs in your iPhone is difficult. If you want to make sure that all the metadata and album art are properly labelled, use TuneUp. This app scans all songs in your iPhone and automatically fixes any messy or incomplete metadata, specifically the Unknown Artist. If you have a missing album art, TuneUp can also fix that too.

There’s so much you can do with you iPhone in terms of entertainment. With these simple tips, you are sure that managing and organizing your music collection is easier.
