Jaikoz Review:
First off, to those criticizing Java as a language choice. I mainly address this as the reviews that are most biased seem to use this as their main bias. Ignore them. Java is by no means as fast as C, C++ or a host of other languages out there, but this programs purpose is not limited by speed. I can tag 25k mp3's at a time, and do more if I so desire as Jaikoz is not limited by Java but by the hardware you own. You can run it on close to nothing if you take your time. Secondly Itunes is an AWFUL program for large music collection. Smart execution for selling music tagged by apple, not so good when you have a large dissorganized mess from years of ripping and collecting. With Jaikoz you can turn music organization into a hobby and take some control over your collection. I use a celeron single core and 2 gigs of ram shared across multiple computers, I then tag using remote desktop to this computer. I use itunes to load my ipod via this shared drive, no bonjour only simple folder structure and drag and drop. This keeps my main laptop free while jaikoz works. The main strength of this program is support, ask and the main developer responds, if it is feasable it will be released. Tagging music is useful for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Itunes is great for small collection bought from apple. One final word. I had a small collection seperated of several gigs from years ago, all the music was tagged by numbers and no artist or data to relate anything about the music. I could have listened for hours and MANUALLY tagged it. Jaikoz actually attained the music ID's and tagged MOST of it. ALl the music was from a drive I recovered after it crashed for some unknown reason. Ohh and the best part. Free updates for LIFE. It is a shame that there are negative reviews by folks who have little understanding of the product. This is not for 100 mp3's that already are tagged. This is for the enthusiast that is interested in building or maintaining his/her collection. Thanks Jaikoz.
