Product Description:
Are you frustrated by missing information in your audio files? This is known as metadata and is stored in a Tag. The Jaikoz Audio Tag Editor is a powerful yet simple to use tool that allows you to organize, edit and correct thousands of these tags with ease.
Jaikoz uses MusicBrainz, an online database of over 5 million songs. Many of these songs also have associated Acoustic Ids provided by MusicIP, allowing a song to be identified by the actual music, so it can do a match even if you have no metadata! These feature means that Jaikoz gives you the flexibility to lookup your songs by both the acoustic id and the metadata making Jaikoz a very accurate tool. But no identification system is 100% accurate so we have made it as quick and easy as possible to edit your data manually as well using a convenient spreadsheet view, with many autoformatting features.
Key Features:
- Designed for tagging large music collections quickly and reliably
- Automatic Acoustic matching using the MusicBrainz database of over 5 million tracks to mtach tracks based on the actual music!
- Automatic matching using MusicBrainz to match tracks from metadata in your files
- Intelligent FileName to Tagger can extract information from the filename into the tag without having to know the format of the field
- Intelligent AutoMatch compares different Audio files and finds field matches and then allows all similar fields to be formatted the same.
- Intelligent AutoFormat provides automatic capitalization, conversion of special words and removal of invalid and punctuation characters.
- AutoCorrect can be used to perform automatic formatting of your chosen columns in a single click.
- The innovative split screen spreadsheet view allows easy editing of all fields.
- Provides full support of all text fields and partial support of all other fields.
- Automatically keeps v1 and v2 tags synchronised
- Full Unicode support allow any character from any language to be used.
- Easy conversion of tags between version.
- Displays what is actually contained in the tag allowing the user full control.
What's new in this version:
- Retrieval of Acoustic Ids now utilizes multiple cpus if your computer has them to process multiple tracks in parallel
- The Genre field can now be fixed from Musicbrainz Folksonomy Tags. Jaikoz prefers to use tags that match the standard ID3 genre list, in case of a tie the tag used by most users to tag a release or track is preferred. Jaikoz also includes a configurable blacklist of tags that should not be used as genres when receiving from or submitting to folksonomy tags, you can use '*' as a wildcard match.
- Folksonomy Tags is a relatively new addition to Musicbrainz so tags are not available for many of the releases yet but one of the advantages of this system is that genres can also be submitted back from Jaikoz as Musicbrainz Folksonomy Tags. This is an open system that is even being supported by the BBC. If everybody that used Jaikoz submits their tags back to Musicbrainz the quality of Folksonomy tags should increase rapidly.
- Jaikoz now uses an embedded Database to store details of every release and artist downloaded from Musicbrainz, that is preserved between invocations of Jaikoz. Because this information is held in the database rather than memory this reduces memory usage. Jaikoz uses this locally stored release data so that it doesn't actually have to a lookup for every track if it can find a good match by looking at already downloaded and used releases. Consider the usual case of all tracks in a release being looked up if the metadata is good enough the new system will only require one track, artist and release lookup for the first track, all the other tracks can be matched using the downloaded release info so more tracks can be corrected more quickly.
- The Capitalizers have now been renamed to better reflect what they do, and the Title Case Capitalizer has been improved so it more accurately matches the conventions used within Musicbrainz. There is now an exception list for capitalizers, so certain words preserve formatting i.e. U2 or UB40.
- When using Rename Folder From Tags or Rename File from Tags the number of fields that can be used has been increased to support most of the Jaikoz Meta fields available, to better support this the fieldname formats have been changed from %A, %B... to %artist%, %title%....
- A simple IF statement is now supported for Rename Folder From Tags or Rename File from Tags, allowing you to check if a field has a value. For example $if(%album%,%album%-) would write the value of abum and a hyphen character only if album has a value. Full scripting will be added in a later version of Jaikoz.
- Tag from Filename now expects you to specify the format of the filenames when extracting the filename information into tag fields, because it was not always possible for Jaikoz to correctly guess a filenames components without a hint. But Jaikoz still uses heuristics to get the best match when a filename could match the mask in multiple ways.
- Added Create Support Files to make it easy to submit bug reports to Jthink
- Added Empty Cache to empty the database if you want to force Jaikoz to make all its check against Musicbrainz rather the embedded Database
- Improvements to memory usage and memory management.
- There have been a number of fixes to the Correct Tags Musicbrainz, although some of these will not take effect until Musicbrainz Search Server Update has been released.
- Special field %bestartist% has been added to Rename Folder From Tags and Rename File from Tags. This uses the Album Artist if exists and if it doesn't it uses the Artist field.
- The field %year% always returns only the year portion even if it holds a complete date, this is more useful to Rename Folder From Tags and Rename File from Tags tyhan returning the whole date.
- Tag from Filename has an additional option Only Populate Fields if Empty that is enabled by default.
- Maximum and minimum heap memory shown in console at startup.
- Added What should Year Contain option to the Year formatter so that all years can be converted to year or full date format.
- Now by default Musicbrainz does not overwrite existing artwork or genres.
- Save and some other tasks sometimes hang at the end of the task instead of completing properly.
- Clustering matching was case sensitive preventing clustering doing as well as it could.
- Out Of Memory error can occur when reading large cover art in PNG format is fixed.
- Not showing loading mp4s with invalid genre ids is now fixed.
- Not showing ID3 fields because attached picture has no picture type field is fixed.
- Unexpected error on deleting an image,ArrayOutOfBoundsException now fixed.
- Occasional IndexOutOfBoundsException when had editing a field then opening folder without completing the edit is now fixed.
- Fixed 2>=1 errors on startup.

Looks like a great program. Loved to buy it if I could only download it. - Version: 2.3.1, 4/5/2008 08:11AM PST

Program looks great and looks like it's the answer to all my issues I've dealt with for over 11 years with my library.
Would love to get it and pay for it BUT I can't seem to download the darn thing. What's up? Do you have the software only available on one server and no mirror sites? It seems your server is down.
Please let me know how I can get a copy of this software. I'll gladly pay for it too!
Best Regards,

I like this program. I like iTunes too. But what I don't like is how itunes currently stores files and in particular that it doesn't attach album art to the actual song file but puts it away in an album art folder. This means that if you like to move your music files around onto mass storage devices or any media player/mp3 player other than an ipod it doesn't take the album art.
Jaikoz has allowed me to to tag all my files in the format that I want, using a logical interface similar to that of iTunes in that, once loaded all files can be viewed by album/artist/genre and corrected accordingly.
Corrections can be applied in various ways. A local corrector can be applied to improve grammatical errors and improve file identification/auto correction. A file identification process can then be carried out and finally an auto correction process using the MuzicBrainz database. This is fairly accurate but if you don't like the results you can either use the manual corrector and select from a number of identified files or apply your own correction in the spreadsheet like table.
You then have the option to save files to folders and subfolders, in the format that you want using hotkeys and to top it all your files now work in iTunes AND any other mediaplayer/mp3 player with all your tag information.
I have experienced occasional bugs (error windows for no reason) but otherwise works very well.
This program does exactly what I need a file tagger to do and has the versatility to allow users to edit tags in any way they choose.
If you like cross platform freedom but prefer to use Mac this is my choice and well worth the $20.

Good solution to correcting lots of meta data

If you have songs with missing or incorrect meta data on your Macintosh, Jaikoz is well worth your time and money. There is no other program available on the Mac that provides all the capabilities of Jaikoz.
If some of your meta data is correct, you can easily transfer the correct portions to other songs that have problems. The color coding scheme showing what data has changed is very useful, and allows you to easily verify the updates before you save them to your hard disk.
Jaikoz integrates with MusicBrainz, giving you a chance to capture a lot of meta data starting with just the music, by matching up the song and grabbing the meta data from MusicBrainz.
Jaikoz can grab album artwork and song lyrics from the Internet, for all of your music, with one command, and store the data inside your MP3 file.
Jaikoz has extensive documentation explaining each of the features available, and suggesting sequences of operations to perform for best results.
The author is extremely helpful with support, and releases new versions with new features on a monthly or better basis.
The downside to this program is that it's written in Java, and does not have the good looking, fun to use interface that Mac Cocoa programs have. Although an MP3 tagger program is not something I use on a daily basis, so I'm willing to live with this.
