87BOOSTED  Java is actually a good choice for this paticular application and it may not scream through a collection of 25k in a minute, it does complete the task. I guarantee jaikoz is more stable and will provide better performance in usability, and function than its competitors. Tagging is an art and it is more complex than many people understand. If it wasnt, it would be free. Jaikoz is the closest to free you can get and I cannot agree with the above users comments.

87BOOSTED  This is Java. The program is a BEAST in comparison to the eyecandy you must be used to. The power of the program is based on the needs of the user. Take a large mp3 database and let Jaikoz work it into a coherent structure, all based on what you choose. Your comments need to use examples of its weakness in use, I really have no clue how you compare OS9 looking like Jaikoz...makes little sense

87BOOSTED  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.

87BOOSTED  I do not understand your comments as well. You must look at pictures rather than trying a product. This product will revolutionize tagging. PERIOD. The identification process is slow but I have properly tagged approx 10k songs and am totally satisfied. It identifies songs by acoustics, not by your current WRONG tag. for instance you have a song 01. Nothing else. This will identify the song with a number. It then crosses the number to musicbrainz. you then save and your finished and it will add artwork automatically if you choose. It can do more but this is basically what most of us is after. This is not mediamonkey, although if mediamonkey was smart they would contact this man and integrate his code into their product. Awesome for a mixed up collection. All the java comments are biased that missed the actual purpose of the software..its hard to see what it does in a picture.
