Have you ever tried looking for a particular song in your iTunes library only to find that it's missing? Missing, even though know that you just listened to it the other day? This scene plays out every day in households across the nation as we accumulate more computers - one for the husband, one for the wife, and one or more additional computers for the kids, not to mention the odd laptop thrown into the mix for good measure. Everyone's got their own iPod, and so every computer has its own iTunes library. You know, in this day and age, there should be a way to consolidate everyone's iTunes library into a single, unified collection. And, you know what? There is!

TuneRanger gives you the power to copy and consolidate music, videos, and playlists from one iTunes library to another. Plus, it's not just a static, one-time thing -- TuneRanger maintains a connection between all of your iTunes installations over the network, so a purchase or edit made on one computer is automatically reflected on all of the other iTunes libraries, on up to four computers! TuneRanger goes about its business quite efficiently, only moving files that are different, or according to specific filters (such as artist/album/song) that you've tailored. There's even support for bi-directional sync with iPods!

The best part about TuneRanger is that the app works with mixed networks - it doesn't matter if your family owns a mosaic of Windows and Mac computers, TuneRanger will easily and quite capably synchronize your iTunes collections without regard to the operating system. TuneRanger even has built-in tools that optimize your iTunes library by managing duplicate files, removing orphaned files, handling disconnected media, and assigning album art!
