Clear Junk Files From iTunes Library & Sort It With A Click In Windows

For a lot of people, iTunes has become the de facto music platform for purchasing music. By and large, it’s a mandatory toolkit for anyone owning an Apple device such as the iPhone, as it’s the only official way for owners of these devices to sync them with their computers.

Furthermore, while specifying the folder(s), iTunes doesn’t explicitly give you an option regarding which audio/video formats should be added. This is where desktop apps like iTunes CleanList come in to play. Not only does it keep your iTunes library well sorted and up to date, but it can also remove any orphaned items, such as deleted or moved files.
