What is Song Sweeper?

Song Sweeper is a first-of-its-kind iPhone app designed to clean up messy Apple Music libraries. It finds duplicate songs hiding across different albums, unifies split album editions, surfaces tracks you no longer listen to, and helps you favorite your most-played songs to improve recommendations. The app processes everything on-device, requires no account, and works with an active Apple Music subscription.

Who it's for

• Long-time Apple Music subscribers — whose libraries have accumulated duplicates, split albums, and forgotten tracks over years of adding music
• Perfectionists who want a tidy library — who want albums unified under single editions and every duplicate removed without manual hunting
• Listeners tired of stale recommendations — who want to favorite their most-played songs in bulk so Apple Music learns what they actually enjoy

Key features

Duplicate detection and removal

Song Sweeper surfaces every duplicate song across albums, editions, and singles — something Apple Music won't do on its own. You can review and merge duplicates in seconds, with no guesswork required.

Split album merging

Singles, standard editions, and deluxe versions can turn one artist into 15 album slots. Song Sweeper merges overlapping albums down to the fewest possible while keeping every song intact.

Least-played and most-played sorting

The app surfaces your least-played and longest-forgotten tracks so you can clear out what no longer fits. It also highlights your most-played songs so you can favorite them all in one pass, helping Apple Music deliver better recommendations.

Deletion Queue safety net

Nothing leaves your library by accident. Song Sweeper sends all removed songs to a Deletion Queue playlist in Apple Music first, letting you review at your own pace before anything is permanently deleted.

What stands out

Song Sweeper finds the mess and helps you fix it in minutes — so your library reflects who you are today, not who you were 10 years ago.

This app solves a problem Apple Music has never addressed: the gradual fragmentation of a library over years of adding songs from singles, deluxe editions, and different albums. Everything processes on-device with no cloud uploads, no account required, and a built-in safety net that makes cleaning feel safe instead of stressful.

Worth checking out if…

You use Apple Music and your library feels cluttered with duplicates, split albums, or songs you no longer listen to. Song Sweeper is especially useful if you've been subscribed for years and want shuffle to feel intentional again, or if you want better recommendations without manually favoriting hundreds of tracks.
