## What is Song Sweeper?

Finally a way to clean up your Apple Music library.

Duplicates hiding across albums and editions. Duplicate tracks in your playlists. Songs you haven't touched in years dragging down your shuffle and skewing your recommendations. One artist split across a dozen album slots.

Song Sweeper surfaces them all.

DUPLICATE SONGS IN LIBRARY
Find the same song across standard albums, deluxe editions, and singles. Review every match side-by-side and decide what stays - no guesswork.

DUPLICATE SONGS IN PLAYLISTS
Find tracks that are listed multiple times in your playlists so you can listen do your playlists as intended.

SPLIT ALBUMS
When singles, standards, and deluxe versions pile up, one artist takes over your library. Song Sweeper merges overlapping albums down to the fewest possible while keeping every song.

LEAST PLAYED
Surface the tracks you've stopped listening to. If it doesn't belong in your library anymore, let it go.

MOST PLAYED
Your most-played songs should be your favorites. Favorite them all in one pass so Apple Music finally recommends music that actually sounds like you.

DELETION QUEUE
Nothing leaves your library by accident. Songs you choose to remove go to a Deletion Queue playlist first. Review at your own pace before anything is gone for good.

Search, sort, and filter every view to focus on exactly what you want to review. Designed for light and dark mode. Built for iOS 26.

Your library stays on your device. No account required. No data leaves your phone.

Requires an Apple Music subscription.

### 5/5 — Seamless

*2026-05-11*

Effortlessly does what it says

### 1/5 — Constantly crashes and freezes

*2026-04-19*

This app fails to do much of anything except frustrate me.  It freezes, then unexpectedly quits anytime you scan the phone or try to do anything with the results.  Requesting a refund.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear about your experience. While I'm unable to replicate crashes, I do have some hypothesis of what could be causing this. I'm already working on and testing multiple fixes for crashes and they will be released in the next update. Thank you for your feedback in helping improve Song Sweeper.

### 5/5 — I love organizers!

*2026-02-26*

It is too easy for music and files and such to get cluttered on our devices. I love anything that helps me stay organized!

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing, happy to hear you love Song Sweeper!
