PAUL TAYLOR  If you have specific ideas about making the interface more fluid please post them to the Jaikoz forums at http://www.jthink.net/jaikozforum/forums/list.page. The web link will be in its own seperate field in the next release.

PAUL TAYLOR  Hey Sunchaser21

What email address are you sending your support request to, because I haven't received any emails about these problems. You should post to support at jthink dot net , and you should include your logs using the Advanced/Create Support Files option. You can also post questions to the forum http://www.jthink.net/jaikozforum/forums/list.page. Have a browse and you'll find many customers very happy with my support

PAUL TAYLOR  Hi, what do you mean 'Properly fill in catalog nos', catalogs numbers are entered when song matched to Musicbrainz and catalogno available in Musicbrainz.

You are correct there is not an option for custom fields, this should be added, although some other customers take advantage of existing fields for storing additional info.

The slow startup time will be addressed when java 6 becomes the default on the Mac.  
(Version 3.2.1)

PAUL TAYLOR  I don't know why you had problems with Jaikoz but under normal circumstances it is very good at identifying songs with no metadata as my customers can verify.

PAUL TAYLOR  Hi, you maybe hitting this problem with permanent memory:

I am looking at a number of ways of reducing memory usage.  
(Version 2.8.1)

PAUL TAYLOR  Hi, thanks for the review. Wrt to batch updating if you have plenty of physical memory you can change the memory allocation as described in the help manual in order to process the files. By default is Jaikoz is only allocated 400mb which can limit how many files can be processed but you can increase this.

PAUL TAYLOR  Hi, you dont need to have iTunes closed but as I think most people would recognise its not a good idea to modify any type of file while you are using it in another program , still I will take a look at this.

iTunes can automatically move files based on their metadata, but doesnt automatically scan files in folders, these can cause some issues for 3rd Party applications. But I have just finished a revamp of Jaikoz iTunes integration and this will be released later this week in Jaikoz 2.8.1.

PAUL TAYLOR  Jaikoz is written in Java meaning that the same application can be rolled out to multiple Operating Systems simultaneously. Apple support for Java has previously been pretty poor (maybe thats accounts Java being so unpopular with some Apple users) but is vastly improved with OSX 10.4, expect may more Java applications for the Mac

Ive used Tag&Rename and MP3 Book Helper, neither offer the MusicBrainz capacity. Neither work very well when dealing with mass editing. Jaikoz is work in progress but already I think it is one of the most powerful mp3 tag editors available.

I would be interested in hearing of a task you could complete in less steps in MP3 Book Helper than in Jaikoz.  
(Version 1.1.2)

PAUL TAYLOR  Thanks for your review (abeit rather negative).

Jaikoz does many things that ITunes cannot. Such as acoustic matching against the MusicBrainz db allowing you to correct tags you have no info for. All ITunes can do in this area is lookup CDInfo when you first burn the CD once your file has been created all you can do is manual editing.Jaikoz supports practically the whole ID3 Format (70 fields), whereas Itunes only supports about 20.

Editing multiple fields in Itunes is NOT easy it is slow and cumbersome.

Jaikoz is a cross-platform application. Many people use both PCs and Macs and like to be able to use the same application on both.
