Everybody is using MP3s these days. MP3s can be created from CD or downloaded from the Internet, however often these do not contain the correct information to identify and playback the song. This information is stored in a format known as a Tag. Audio Tag Editor applications are designed to allow you to edit and correct this information. Unfortunately, most of these applications are adequate when you want to correct a few songs but fail miserably when trying to manage a collection of thousands of songs.
Jaikoz has been specifically designed for managing large music collections. It aims to give you full control of your editing and provide as much automation as possible. Jaikoz is easy to use straight away and the AutoCorrect task can perform a batch of tasks automatically.
Jaikoz uses a spreadsheet view to allow you to edit information more quickly than other applications and provides many autoformatting tasks which do most of the work for you. For example, it compares your MP3s to each other and using this information it can correct missing information and spelling mistakes, we know of no other tagger that does this!
Jaikoz integrates with the MusicBrainz Database, it can lookup information from an online database and correct your tracks, it does this on a file by file basis, unlike other methods you do not need the complete album to do accurate matching.
Jaikoz can extract information from a filename into the tag without you having to specify the format for the filename. The screen is split horizontally to show the original record and the changes you have made so you compare both at the same time. Some applications hide multi-complex fields away but Jaikoz allows you to access the first field of every one from the main view. For example if you have an album cover tag in one mp3 and you want to copy it to other MP3s just copy and paste it.
Jaikoz currently supports tagging of MP3 files with ID3v1,ID3v2,ID3v2.2,ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4 tags. In future versions we aim to add other formats such as Ogg Vorbis and Lyrics3

What's New:
Performance reading files increased by 300%
Performance writing files increased by 200%
Variable bit rate is now calculated accurately
Playing time is now calculated accurately
Playing time is now used when matching multiple matches from MusicBrainz to give more accurate results
Synchronisation is now implemented for ID3 v23 tags
Previously when files were moved as result of autocorrection renaming the subfolder the original folder was deleted if it was now empty. This could be confusing and is no longer the default behaviour, automatic deletion of empty folders can be enabled from the Save Settings menu.
Previously the autocorrecter would rename the files and folder according to the tags. This could be confusing and is no longer the default behaviour, these can be added back into the Autocorrecter using the AutoCorrecter Settings menu.
Previously error messages were not always being shown when an unxpected error occurred in the application
Previously Correct Filename from Tags did not do anything if the title tag was empty, now as long as the resulting new filename is not empty the correction will be performed
Previously the memory checker was too restrictive preventing the loading of large filesets even when memory was available, this restriction has been removed
Previously Jaikoz had problems handling certain cases of tags created in other applications incorrectly. For example some applications create TDRC frames for IDv23 tags although they are not added until ID3v24, Jaikoz now correctly identifies these tags as unknown for ID3v23 tags.
Previously Jaikoz had problems handling tags with both TDRC and TORY frames, this has now been resolved.
Jaikoz now supported on OSX 10.4.
