So you have chosen to use Tidysongs to make the most of your iTunes library and add album covers to all of the songs that don't have it in your music library. But how does Tidysongs work exactly once you have downloaded and installed it?
Once you have Tidysongs ready to work, there are two ways to proceed:
you may want to keep an eye on the process and check out how it really works this is the "one by one" mode
or you may want to choose the automatic mode.
TidySongs recommends you start using the "one by one" mode on a couple of songs to get a proper understanding of how the software is going to add album covers, and whether you are comfortable with the level of confidence it has.
In my opinion, there is also another advantage to have the "one by one" option: you can customize your music library and add a different album cover if you want to.And of course, you can switch to the automatic mode at any time!
One thing I would like to point out is the difference between the "one by one" mode and how you would have to proceed if you didn't have TidySongs: having TidySongs saves you a lot of time as it saves you a lot of clicks that you would otherwise have to go through when dragging and dropping an album cover from an external website to your iTunes library. TidySongs suggests album artwork from its own database, so there is no need to go online to look, by yourself, for a particular album cover.
And now, straight on to your iPod, iPhone or iPad!
If your iPod, or any other device you are using to listen to your music when not home (it has to have iTunes though) doesn't have a lot of album covers, transfer the ones you have added thanks to TidySongs to it: you'll see how big a difference it makes and how easier to navigate your songs will be.
If you have tried to add album artwork manually, you can compare how faster and easier to use Tidysongs really is.
