iFlicks 2 for Mac

Overview — keep your iTunes library neat with iFlicks

iFlicks helps tidy up an iTunes library by applying metadata and artwork to video files. It scans movies and TV episodes, pulls relevant information, and updates files so your collection appears organized and consistent inside iTunes.

Main capabilities

• Preset output options that make files ready for Apple devices such as Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, and iPod.
• Ability to include multiple audio tracks in different languages.
• Option to embed missing subtitle files directly into video containers.
• Automatic retrieval and tagging of movie and TV show details.
• Adds cover art and poster images to films and episodes.
• A streamlined, easy-to-navigate user interface for batch processing.

Limitations and occasional inaccuracies

While iFlicks usually tags media correctly, it can sometimes assign incorrect or slightly off metadata. Expect to occasionally correct titles, episode numbers, or artwork manually when the automatic lookup doesn't match your file precisely.

Recent fixes and improvements

• Rule matching is now more tolerant: comparisons ignore case differences and diacritical marks.
• The watch-folder processor waits for files to finish copying before starting conversion or tagging.
• Corrected an issue with saving the "current location" preference so it persists properly.

Suggested alternative

• No-cost, widely compatible option: VLC media player.
• Recommended pick for playback and broad format support: VLC (free and open-source).
