Where beaTunes is stronger.

No tool wins everything. If these are your priorities, beaTunes deserves a serious look.

Lower price

beaTunes is around $35 one-time, cheaper than Vibes. If your only need is library analysis and cleanup, it is the lower-cost option.

Metadata inspection

beaTunes is built for deep library cleanup: finding inconsistencies, duplicates, and missing data across a large collection. Vibes covers batch edits but is not a cleanup specialist.

Apple Music and iTunes

beaTunes is designed around the Apple Music and iTunes library and its match-lists. Vibes is built around DJ software instead.

Frequently asked questions

The honest answers, including the trade-offs.

For DJs, yes. Vibes is a beaTunes alternative built around DJ software, with mood tagging, a visual set builder, and direct export to Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, and Engine DJ. If you mainly clean up an Apple Music or iTunes library, beaTunes is the cheaper specialist.

beaTunes is a general music-library analyzer and cleaner with strong Apple Music and iTunes integration and deep metadata inspection. Vibes is DJ-software-native: it imports from and exports to Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, and Engine DJ, and adds a custom DJ vibe system, a fast keyboard sorting workflow, a visual set builder, and auto cue points. If you are preparing DJ sets, Vibes fits the workflow; if you are tidying a personal music library, beaTunes does.

It is, and that is fair: beaTunes is around $35 one-time. You choose Vibes when you want DJ-specific tools beaTunes does not have, like a custom vibe system with a fast keyboard sorting workflow, a visual set builder, auto cue points, and direct export into your DJ software, plus the Companion Pro extension. For pure library cleanup, beaTunes is the cheaper specialist.

Partly. beaTunes can write BPM and key into your files and export M3U playlists that apps like Traktor can read, but it has no native, direct integration with Rekordbox, Serato, or Engine DJ. Vibes imports from and exports directly into all four, including playlists, cue points, and ratings where the format supports them.

Yes. Both run on macOS and Windows, with current versions on each. One caveat for beaTunes: on Windows it works with a folder-based library or the classic iTunes app, since Apple Music for Windows is not supported.
