## 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. Song Sweeper creates a clean copy of each playlist and leaves the original untouched, so you can listen to 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 into fewer, fuller ones 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 the Song Sweeper Deletion Queue playlist first. Review them at your own pace, then delete them from your library in Apple Music.

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

Your library stays on your device. No account required.

Requires an Apple Music subscription. Some features require an in-app purchase.

### 1/5 — Not what it seems

*2026-10-29*

It just adds to a playlist doesn’t delete. I can do that with a shortcut.

**Developer response:** Hi there,

I wish we could delete directly but Apple does not allow that, playlists are the best option. 
I take feedback very seriously, so I've updated Song Sweeper (1.7) to have a clear page in the onboarding before any purchase prompt that explains that it uses playlists to delete. Of course it also says this the first time you try to delete something too.

Thanks for your feedback

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2026-10-03*

Exactly what I needed on my phone…I’ve got way too much clutter from unused files/songs etc. This fixed that perfectly!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-09-11*

Doesn’t work even though it scans and finds the number of duplicate songs. 

After scanning once you click on the “Duplicates” button the spinning gear goes around then the app crashes.  Requesting refund from Apple for $12.99 + tax  (purchase price)

**Developer response:** Hi,

I’m sorry to hear about your experience. I’m happy to share I’ve updated the app with several fixes for this issue. Please give it a try and let me know if it resolves your issues.

### 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!
