Do you mean getting rid of duplicates?
If so Doug's Applescripts is a great place to find free iTunes helpers and extensions

If you're talking about the tag cleanup programs, I've used a few different ones. They're all decent, none are perfect. Definitely requires a lot of manual intervention, just don't let the thing run and change everything or you'll be sorry.

The only ones i have ever used that did an alright job:
TuneUp | Fix Mislabeled Song Info, Add Album Art & More
did a good job labelling with the right album and name in most cases. you need to buy a license, but there is a free 50 cleans.
however! It is a massive nuisance, crashed consistently for me, and has had numerous cases of murdering iTunes libraries.
a better one is Pollux.

Download CoverScout and SongGenie, both from the company equinux.
Granted its a Paid App but sometimes you just need to spend a little for the best results. They have them both for €23.95 or you can buy the bundle for €39.95.
Well worth the price IMO.
Just came across Rinse from. Dl now and will try out tonight when i get home from work.
Cheers

I like coverscout. Songgenie never worked for me, but then i have some quite obscure songs.

TuneUp really crashes sometimes and acts weird, but I use it everyday and I rally think it`s one of the bests out there! now in version 2.0.9 thinks are slightly different.
Good thing is, it really organize your library! but I have some crazy songs that tuneUp was unable to find!! understandable! =)

I used Tune Up too, and it was fine for me.
Coverscout is great too.
The only thing with these programs is that once you have tidided everything up, they are of no use, as keeping on top of things is easy, and if you buy downloads they are always correctly tagged, and importing from CD is reliable too.
