No matter how hard you try to keep your iTunes library tidy, sooner or later you’ll find cobwebs growing in its corners. TrackSift 1.2.2 (Mac App Store link) helps you take a broom and dustpan to the far reaches of your digital music collection.
The app’s skills occupy three categories. Under the Clean tab, you can delete any track listings that point to now-nonexistent files, sweep away empty playlists, or remove needless genres from your library’s listings by shifting them en masse into another genre.

Under Find Tracks Without, you can create playlists of all the songs that have no lyrics and no album art, or a list of songs you haven’t added to any other playlist. (Note that TrackSift won’t automatically fetch art or add lyrics to any of the tracks it gathers.) Its Preferences let you specify which genres to include or exclude in your search, and set length limits for the songs it compiles.
In the “Make Special Playlists” category, “One Hit Wonders” scooped up all the artists in my library with just one track to their names, while “Two-Fers” and “Three-Fers” create fun compilations with two or three consecutive tracks from each artist.

TrackSift won’t work miracles on your music, but it does what it promises, quickly and well. For such a minuscule price, it’s a reasonably big hit.
