I’m evaluating TuneUp versus SongGenie 2 and the first thing I’ve noticed is that SongGenie wants your root password to install. Not good. I’d prefer to just drop it in the apps folders.
SongGenie does not make it very clear what it is adding and what already exists. TuneUp is even worse though – little idea how to even start it from iTunes. I see a hidden window for it but nothing yet. I believe it may be analyzing my files.
TuneUp needs to give some hint to the user regarding how to run it. The dmg should include some graphic, etc. to help with this. The tutorial video on their website doesn’t explain initial launch.
More later, perhaps.
Update: It seems that on my laptop the sidebar UI for TuneUp is hid. I had to resize iTunes to see it. Not really TuneUp’s fault but they need some more info for new users.
