ABOUT
Playlist Plunderer 2.0
Organize your iTunes library with Playlist Plunderer 2.0,
a macOS application that automatically identifies each track’s
title, artist, album, and genre using Shazam-based matching.
Perfect for anyone dealing with incomplete or mismatched
metadata from downloads or CD rips,
it updates your library at home
—no need for manual editing or costly monthly subscriptions!
Key Points
* Two Scanning Modes
* Free Mode: Scans each track for 14 seconds per attempt.
* Licensed Mode: Unlocks a 5-second scan,
ideal for when you want quicker results.
* Iteration Logic for Accuracy
You can set 1, 2, or 3 “listening attempts” for each song.
More attempts increase the chance of consistent tags, helping avoid mismatches.
* One-Time Purchase
No recurring fees. Use the free mode indefinitely,
or upgrade once for the faster 5-second intervals.
* Intel & Apple Silicon Builds
Runs on modern macOS systems, with separate installers to suit your hardware.
TUTORIAL
(1) Install & Choose Your Mode
1. Pick the Correct macOS Build
* Download the Intel or Apple Silicon .app file.
Place it in /Applications or another preferred folder.
2. (Optional) License File
* To unlock 5-second scanning, place your license file (.lic) next to the .app.
Without a license, the app defaults to 14-second intervals.
(2) Prepare Your iTunes Playlist
1. Open iTunes (Music app) and create a playlist named “Playlist Plunderer.”
2. Add Songs you want updated to this playlist.
* Tip: Don’t sort this playlist by “Date Modified,Comments”
as updated songs may reorder themselves during scanning.
For best Results set to Sort By Number
(3) Set Iterations (1, 2, or 3)
* 1 Iteration: The app listens once. If Shazam returns consistent info,
that field (e.g., artist, album) updates in iTunes.
* 2 Iterations: The app listens at two different points in the song;
consistent matches get updated fields.
* 3 Iterations: Three listening points.
If a field’s info matches in at least two attempts, it updates.
(4) Click “Start”
* Press “Start.” The app briefly plays each song in your
“Playlist Plunderer” playlist to retrieve info via Shazam.
* If Shazam can’t find or confirm a match, it appends “Shazam not found”
to that track’s Comments field in iTunes.
(5) Check Updated Metadata
1. Open iTunes and review the newly updated tags—title, artist, album, and genre.
2. If you’re a DJ, you can now export your improved iTunes library
into Rekordbox or other software, with consistent metadata already in place.
With Playlist Plunderer 2.0, you’ll have an organized iTunes library,
free of mislabeled or incomplete tags, and no monthly costs.
Enjoy a simpler, more accurate music collection—without manual typing.
