Go into Preferences:Musicbrainz:Format and Format 2 and disable modifying all fields except artist/title/year. If you could a new topic on the forum giving an example of a bad match I can look into it further. So, maybe you have hit a bug but that is how it is supposed to work. If no release match is found and you don’t have Preferences:Remote Correct:Match:Only match complete releases enabled then Jaikoz will resort to song by song matching, but if the song can match by acoustid there are checks to ensure it doesnt match to a song by metadata whihc is different to the acoustid match, i.e the alkbum could be different but it must match by songname. If there are multiple releases that have a match for every song, we take the release which best matches existing metadata and users personal preferences such as Preferred Release Country. So processing is done in groups, fingerprints are checked for all songs in the group and then we try to find an album that contains the songs that the fingerprints matched to, if there is no matching fingerprinting for a song we rely on metadata. Secondly Jaikoz only matches songs on a song by song basis as a last resort, in the first instance it groups songs by folder (as the majority of users organize their music one folder per album) and/or metadata (because some do not, and sometimes music has not be organized at all). The first thing to realize is that where there is a match fingerprints are great for finding the correct song, but they are not much help for finding the correct release because the exact same recordng can be on many releases. Hi Brent, your summary is actually incorrect. But you cannot use SongKong to erase your existing metadata and you have access to less matching options. Having said all that, currently SongKong does a better job then Jaikoz because it does not suffer from the memory limitations that Jaikoz has, and the matching algorithm has been tweaked with some improvements that are not yet in Jaikoz (but will be). Also Acoustid can only accurately identify the song, but many songs are available on multiple releases and Acoustids in themselves do not help identify the best release to pick.īoth Jaikoz and SongKong use Acoustids AND metadata to achieve the best match, if you remove all metadata then the only metadata that could be used is the name of the folder that the songs are in, a starting assumption is made that songs in the same folder are from the same release. Some of your songs may have a match in Musicbrainz, but not an acoustid to musicbrainz link so will not be matchable by just acoustid. Many customers have both applications.I’m not sure that removing all your metadata is a good idea. For my own music collection by default I use SongKong, but use Jaikoz for situations that SongKong cannot resolve. In summary SongKong is better for fully automated matching and can be used on more platforms, Jaikoz allows more customization, control and manual editing. The most important feature that they both have in common is that you can point Fix Songs/Autocorrect to your whole collection and it will identify the songs and the correct albums whereas most other taggers applications only let you do this one album at a time Jaikoz lets you check the results before saving Jaikoz has much better manual editing than SongKong and alllows import of metadata from spreadsheet Jaikoz is more flexible when matching with extra tasks such as Match to One MusicBrainz Album and Semi-automated match Jaikoz looks like more like a regular tag editor SongKong is simple to use with only a few main (but configurable) tasks. SongKong has an Undo feature that can be used after files have been saved SongKong only requires memory for the folders it is actually processing so does not use more memory for larger libraries and can therefore be used for libraries of any size SongKong also has a web interface so can be used on headless linux and nas devices When considering SongKong or Jaikoz I would say the key differences are:
