Get All Your Missing iTunes Album Arts With TuneUp Media

Nope, not a salesman for this crowd, just found this bit of simple software excellent.

We all know how annoying it is when some of your favourite albums on your iPod have album arts in all their glory, but most simply don’t.

TuneUp Media solves this. Their free trial gives you 50 free cover arts, but if like me you have a whopping collection ( 500+ albums) then you’ll find the paltry $29.95 (just under €25) worth every cent.

Simple install, open iTunes and you’ll see the new TuneUp tab on the right. It can also scan through missing song names like the dreaded “Track 01, Track 02″ songs and provide a fix. Very handy! It’s very straightforward to use.

You can find out more about TuneUp Media from their website – www.tuneupmedia.com

Below is a screen grab. If you’ve got an iPhone, iPod Touch or Classic, then get downloading.

Apple Launch New iPhone, Looks The Part

Apple Launch New iPhone, Looks The Part

Steve Jobs unveiled the new iPhone last night. It looks amazing from the videos and photos I’ve seen.

I’m currently using a HTC Desire, and after watching the video I can’t help but seem a bit envious of Apple’s new device. They’re marketing plan has worked on me anyway. It’s due to hit stores in the UK on June 24th.

It’s thinner than the 3GS, has a new glass casing, better 5mp Camera with LED Flash (at last), faster processor, and a new video calling mode (WiFi only). Available in black and white.

A link to a video on Apple’s website.

Below is a full comparison between the iPhone 4 and the 3GS.
