DESCRIPTION
Jaikoz Audio Tagger...The Jaikoz Tagger allows you to organize, edit and correct thousands of songs with ease. It currently supports Mp4, M4p, Mp3 and Ogg Audio Formats. Jaikoz uses MusicBrainz, an online database of over 5 million songs. MusicBrainz is a community based database with contributions by over 200,000 people and its system of moderation ensures the data is extremely accurate. 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 if you have no metadata.

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. Jaikoz uses a convenient spreadsheet view to allow you to edit information very quickly and provides many autoformatting features that do most of the work for you.

Key Features are:
  • Free upgrades for life for all versions , minor or major.
  • Supports Mp4,M4p,Mp4,Mp3 and Ogg Vorbis formats
  • Acoustic matching using MusicBrainz and MusicIP to match tracks based on the actual music
  • MetaData matching using MusicBrainz to match tracks from the metadata in your files either automatically or manually.
  • Automatically retrieve artwork from Internet
  • 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
  • Intelligent FileName to Tagger can extract information from the filename into the tag without having to know the format of the field
  • Rename filenames and folders from your metadata in your chosen format
  • AutoCorrect can be used to perform automatic formatting of your chosen columns in a single click
  • Provides full support of all text fields and easy tagging of large number of audio files
  • The innovative split screen spreadsheet view allows easy comparison of changes during editing
  • 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
  • Jaikoz runs on Mac OS X (v10.4 and above), Windows and Linux
  • Jaikoz is Internationalized, currently supports English and Spanish
WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.4:
  • Added support for the following fields Barcode, Label, ISRC, Conductor, Lyricist, Media, Remixer, Mood, Release Offical Url, Release Wikipedia Url, Release Discogs Url, Artist Offical Url, Artist Wikipedia Url, Artist Discogs Url for all formats
  • Barcode, Label, ISRC, Conductor, Lyricist, Remixer,Release Wikipedia Url and Release Discogs Url can be automtically populated from MusicBrainz.
  • Added a Delete Duplicates task. In the preferences you can specify that a duplicate is a track with the same MusicBrainz Id as another track, the same MusicIP Id as another, or the same Musicbrainz Id and MusicIP Id as another.
  • Added a Prefer Acoustic Id even if rating lower than meta match that is disabled by default, (Jaikoz previously acted as if this option was enabled). Keeping this option disabled will make it more likely that Jaikoz will use the same release for all tracks on one album.
  • Added Possible Matches must be within Track Duration option that is enabled by default (this works the same as Jaikoz previously). But if you disable this it will allow musicbrainz to return tracks that are outside the range of your track length. This is useful for picking up tracks where the track length has been entered incorrectly in Musicbrainz or where your encoding is inaccurate.
  • Your preferences are now preserved from your previous version of Jaikoz
  • Added Complete Italian translation
  • Added Dutch translation, this is not yet complete but feel it is still useful for Dutch speakers
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later, Java 1.5 or later.

XPLICIT  Looks and feels to me like an OS9 program. And its usability s**ks.  (Version 2.4)

BLUECAT  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.  (Version 2.3.1)

CORPSECORPS  At 20% off, $30 is too much for a tagger.

But i'll now give it a test. Perhaps it's worth it.  (Version 2.0.2)

MUTLEY71  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.  (Version 1.11.2)
