If you have trouble with movies, first try adding the release year in the filename or the iDentify directly.

Then “Rescan Items” and 9 times out of 10 it’ll work. If you’re tagging a batch of TV episodes and it can’t find any data, you can select all the files in the app, click “Edit Tags” and manually enter the “Show Name”. That’s it!įor the app to work, your files have to be named logically (eg: 4, 4v). Then import your freshly tagged media to iTunes, and stream or sync to your heart’s desire. Let it scan them, check at least a few to make sure it got the right show or film (hint: click edit tags to view) and click “Process Files”. To use simply drag all the files you want to tag into iDentify. It works very well and once all is said and done it looks just like iTunes store content. All you need is a piece of software called iDentify 2, and it will do all of the magic for you. Enter iDentifyīut we can add that metadata after the fact. Media ripped from discs (or obtained by other means) simply doesn’t come with those goodies. When you buy media from the iTunes store it comes with epidsode info or a film description, posters, cast info, air dates and more that make it easy to find what you’re looking for or pick something good to watch. It syncs and plays great on your devices–but something is missing! Its the metadata (aka tags). So let’s say you have a bunch of movies or TV shows converted for your Apple TV / iPhone / iPad / iPod.

It actually handles movies with common names a bit better, although its not quite as magical in the queue department. One great alternative is Subler - also available for free.

Update December 2016: iDentify has, sadly, been discounted.
