Publisher's Description
From JThink:
Jaikoz Tagger allow you to automatically correct this information using a combination of acoustic fingerprinting and metadata matching from Musicbrainz and Discogs. Jaikoz is usually over 90 percent accurate, but for the other 10 percent we have made it as quick and easy as possible to edit your data manually as well using a convenient spreadsheet view, with many advanced features such as Delete Duplicates.
What's new in this version: Version 4.5.7 has fixed connections which could not be acquired from underlying database error.

"The bottom line in mp3 tagging. Nothing comes close."
Version: Jaikoz 4.1.1 NGS
Pros
Every imaginable tag is accessible. Matches with Musicbrains, Discogs, and acoustidIDs. A customizable 'AutoCorrector' to build your own macro. File and folder renaming and moving. The developer is VERY active and is open to practical ideas.
Cons
Has a bit of a learning curve. The UI is very non-glitz, so it may intimidate at first (no bubbly Vista look).
Summary
Brianissmall has no idea what he's talking about. It's obvious he was intimidated by the non-bubbliness and gave up on giving it a decent shake.
I though my collection (~750 Mb) was pretty squared away before with other taggers. Then I came across this and realized that I couldn't be more wrong. Jaikoz will fix the most mangled of existing tags and filenemes. You can end up with a shiny, art-filled tags even if you started with all tags blank and TRACKXX for filenames! Jaikoz tries to match file attributes and file counts with online DBs and return with the exact release, including artwork, lyrics, artist, date, label, and tons more.
The UI is very basic and smacks of Excel. It takes a little effort to figure out where everything is and how it works, but once you do, filing is quick and extremely complete. There are tons of tools, and even after using it for over a year now, I still find new ones.
Paul Taylor is the developer and is always available through the forum. Questions are answered quickly, and if you find an issue or bug, they are usually fixed promptly (depending on severity). Updates are often, maybe every month or two, so changes get implemented quickly.
The purchase price is around 30USD for lifetime support and updates. Once I wrapped my head around the demo and realized the potential, the price became insignificant. -
"Extremely powerful program! Well worth the money!"
Version: Jaikoz 4.1.1 NGS
Pros
Powerful program. Can interface with musicbrainz and discogs as well as utilizes amplifind to help identify songs accurately. Can edit around 10k songs at once. Allows one to do multiple tasks via the autocorrector function with just one click.
Cons
There are tons of options in the settings which makes for a small learning curve to set it up to perform to ones individual preferences. Could use a plugin feature to allow 3rd party additional options like last.fm support.
Summary
The program is extremely powerful. Can pull data from musicbrainz as well as discogs allowing one to auto tag their music. I am an avid collector of music and use it on an extremely large collection and it is a life saver on allowing me to tag things quickly. I find it really nice to be able to load around 10k files at once and then quickly select all the fields I don't like and clear them all out in one click. A lot of fields that most other programs don't even list. It also has an auto corrector feature that allows one to do multiple tasks in just 1 click of a button.
This program is well worth the money for anyone wanting to fix up their music collection. I also love how the dev is very attentive to the forums and answers all posts personally, typically within 24 hours. Any time a bug is reported, I find he quickly will investigate the claim and fix it if there is a problem. I have been big into mp3 collecting and organizing for over 15 years now and have been using this program for over 3 years now. I have used most free and commercial products and this is by far the most powerful! Before this program I had to use half a dozen different programs to get all the functionality that I required. This program has eliminated the need for multiple programs and has become my sole tagging program I use. -
"Worthless Program! Don't Waste Your Money!"
Version: Jaikoz 4.0 NGS
Pros
None. The program is expensive. It takes forever to look up "tags" and comes back with virtually no tags updated and most of the few updates that are there are wrong.
Cons
This program does not work. It finds virtually no tags and takes a long time doing do.
Summary
Worthless. Waste of money. Completely bogus advertising claims.
-
"Takes forever, finds virtually no tags at all"
Version: Jaikoz 3.11.1
Pros
The spread-sheet format for MANUALLY updating tags and file names is very slick. Which is a good thing, because you will be updating virtually everything manually.
Cons
The program goes away for hours and comes back with virtually no tags updated and many of those that are updated are clearly wrong.
Summary
Don't pay money for this turkey. Get a freeware tag editor somwhere.
-
"M:P3 "tag" editing works ok but tag updating does not"
Version: Jaikoz 3.8.3
Pros
The tags come up in a spreadsheet and it has some powerful features for regularizing file names, "artists," and "genre" (which are a total mess from the Internet) so that you can actually find things when you search on tags in your player.
Cons
It goes away for a long time, supposedly accessing a couple of tag databases, supposedly using a sophisticated "ID" scheme instead of just keywords. But they don't seem to do much of anything and mostly mess up correct tags that are already there.
Summary
TuneUpMedia that works with iTunes and the iTunes data base does a much, much better job of updating tags although it is a pain in the neck to use and the free MP3tag tag editor's spreadsheet is more or less as good as Jaikoz's when it comes to regularizing artist and genre tags. So spend money on TuneUpMpedia and get MP3tag for free and don't spend money on Jaikoz.

"Deleted off computer embarrassed to admit I wasted �20"
Version: Jaikoz 3.8.3
Pros
I only lost �20.00
Cons
Slow, hard to use, inaccurate album information in 90% of cases. Have been using numerous audio media player softwares for over 10 years this is by far the worst just want to warn other people life is to short to waste on junk software like this.
Summary
Have had numerous Media Players over the last 12-13 years, Creative, Archos, Apple, Microsoft Zune etc. Have used many different types of software have a large Music And Audiobook collection in mp3 format these are ok. on Archos players because you can store and search via folders, but on Apple and Zune content is stored and searched via file tag information I therefore wanted software that would automaticaly tidy up file tag information as Jaikoz claims to do.Unfortunately (for me and I suspect lots of others who cannot be bothered to complain) 9 out of 10 albums uploaded into Jaikoz to tidy up are inaccurate individual files having different artist,album,genre and artwork information, even albums where the written infomation was 100% accurate and I was just after artwork upload were left with file information all over the place numerous albums,artists,genre's etc. etc. TOTAL WASTE OF TIME.

"Best among TidySongs, TuneUP and this."
Version: Jaikoz 3.8.3
Pros
Very fast and a lot of options
Cons
Too much options but thats a wonderful feeling
Summary
Please buy this. Best in its class. It works and logs each changes before applying it. It does not depend on itunes library and it updates the itunes library after the changes are done. The manual changes are very fast because it displays all the fields simutaneously. I have bought tidySongs which crashes all the time and does not put lyrics and is very slow. TuneUP is to much dependent on itunes. Jaikoz is the best among these. You wont regret.

"works great, needs little or no maintenance."
Version: Jaikoz 3.7.1
Pros
this program works well for me. I haven't taken the time to learn half of what this program can do and my audio files are beginning to shape up into a real library that I'll have for a long time, I hope.
Cons
Spreadsheet column "sort by header" feature seems to glitch the sort, rarely, but sometimes.
Summary
The spreadsheet column "sort re-sort" feature seems to work well 99.99% of the time. Sometimes, once you sort files by column header the actual song files don't keep up with the spreadsheet data tag rows and you'll end up pressing play on one song while the tags of another song file are highlighted. It's confusing.

"Love this software! Works great!"
Version: Jaikoz 3.6.0
Pros
Cleaned up my music library accurately, quickly, and with few exceptions. Even automatically updated my iTunes.
Cons
Nothing bad to say...maybe could've used a bit more instructions but was pretty easy to figure out.
Summary
Easy to install, easy to use! Worth paying for full use!
-
"Fantastic program. Easy to use."
Version: Jaikoz 3.5.1 Build 1079
Pros
Easy to use interface. Does a great job of cleaning up MP3 tags. Was so good I bought it.
Cons
Only does 20 songs at a time on the free version.
Summary
If you have a large collection of MP3's that are tagged incorrectly, this is a great way to clean them up. It won't fix everything, but it does a lot.
