Never lose track of your music library
Your music library should not be a black box. Music Library Tracker watches for additions, deletions, metadata changes, and Spatial Audio upgrades so you know exactly when Apple Music, iTunes Match, or your own edits have changed the collection you care about.
Install it once and let it quietly build a local history of your library. When something changes, you can see what happened, when it happened, and which metadata fields were affected.
One-time download cost of $3.99
Know what changed
Track additions, deletions, and granular metadata changes from the day you install the app.
Find Dolby Atmos upgrades
Discover which tracks have been upgraded to Spatial Audio and save them to an Apple Music playlist.
Automate your library checks
Use Shortcuts and Siri to query changes across custom dates and date ranges.
Granular Change History
Most music apps tell you what is in your library right now. Music Library Tracker tells you what changed. Every change is visible in detail, including title, artist, album, album artist, disc number, track number, genre, rating, year of release, and Spatial Audio status.
Spatial Audio Tracking
Music Library Tracker can match your library against Spatial Audio availability and create a playlist containing upgraded songs. Spatial Audio encompasses tracks mixed in Dolby Atmos or Dolby Audio.
Whilst Music Library Tracker can run on Macs with Apple Silicon thanks to iOS app emulation, Spatial Audio tracking is not supported there due to limitations with Apple’s iOS media library implementation when emulated on macOS.
More Features
An optional summary notification can tell you in the morning if changes were detected the previous day. The iPad version supports trackpad, keyboard, and split-screen modes, with a single purchase covering both iPhone and iPad.
Music Library Tracker contains no in-app purchases and does not require an internet connection for standard library monitoring. If you enable Spatial Audio scanning, Apple Music identifiers are sent to my server for matching only and are not stored.
Reviews
"While this is useful for those who like to monitor content and changes made manually to a music library to keep personal logs, it's perhaps best suited to Apple Music subscribers. There are instances where content available through the Apple Music service is deleted or changed due to licensing issues with record labels, and this app will allow users to keep track of potential deletions to replace missing music." – MacRumors
"iTunes doesn’t have an easy method to track 'lost' tracks, and dedicating all that time to managing music can be quite a nuisance. Music Library Tracker can handle all the additions, deletions and metadata changes without any user input. Its granularity is what really sells it for me. I download a lot of music from varying artist sources (Soundcloud and ToneDen for example), and I usually just add it into iTunes to change the metadata at a later date. Being able to confirm that the song’s metadata was changed and the track was not deleted helps put me at ease." – 9to5Mac
"This app is amazing. I have a large Apple Music collection over 67000 songs and it’s great to get daily updates on what metadata has changed so that I can correct it. It seems AppleMusic will change songs to completely different versions, live versions or even completely different songs without any rhyme or reason" – App Store Review
"Absolutely love this app. Unfortunately due to the unreliability of Apples music app, this app is now absolutely necessary for those who have music vanish regularly and want to know what's happening to their music library." – App Store Review
"As someone who’s music collection is very dear to them, this app is frankly a life saver. Apple/iTunes is horrible with metadata and frequently changes things at random, or worse, loses access completely on Apple Music. While this app can’t stop that, it’s nice to know when an album has been removed from my library, or when an artist or track name has been changed by apple so I can rectify it." – App Store Review
"The App is reliable and completely 'silent'. Anyone looking for information about the changes, in particular with Apple Music, is recommended this app." – App Store Review (translated from German)
