Jaikoz Audio Tagger 3.7.0 - Powerful MP4 & MP3 tag editor. (Shareware)

Jaikoz Audio Tagger 3.7.0

Jaikoz Music Tagger allows you to organize, edit and correct thousands of songs with ease. It currently supports Mp4, M4p, Mp3,Wma,Flac and Ogg Audio Formats. Jaikoz uses MusicBrainz, an online database of over 7 million songs. MusicBrainz is a community based database with contributions by over 200,000 people and its system of moderation ensures the data is extremely accurate. Many of these songs also have associated Acoustic Ids provided by MusicIP, allowing a song to be identified by the actual music, so it can do a match even if if you have no metadata.

But no identification system is 100% accurate so we have made it as quick and easy as possible to edit your data manually as well. Jaikoz uses a convenient spreadsheet view to allow you to edit information very quickly and provides many autoformatting features that do most of the work for you.

Key Features are:

Free upgrades for life for all versions , minor or major.
Supports Mp4,M4p,Mp4,Mp3,Flac,Wma and Ogg and formats

WHAT'S NEW

Version 3.7.0:

New Features

Added AutoCorrect Metadata from Discogs,this works works like AutoCorrect Metadata from Musicbrainz except it is for Discogs. So you can now match all those songs that Musicbrainz failed to find, even better Discogs contains lots of information that you may not have for your existing Musicbrainz matched songs such as genres and higher resolution cover art. Correct Songs from Discogs is release orientated rather than track orientated so it keeps your tracks together, Musicbrainz will be moving this way in the next release.
Added Preferences/Remote Correct/Preferred media formats option, this should be set to represent the majority of your Music collection to get better matches. For example if your collection is 90% CD's just check the CD option, if its 60% CD, 35% Vinyl and 5% Digital Media check the CD and Vinyl options. Currently this option is only used when matching from Discogs but will be extended to support matching from Musicbrainz.
Added support for completing the Disc No and Track Total fields from Discogs.
Added Preferences/Remote Correct/Discogs/Replace if empty or no Musicbrainz Id , now that Discogs can be used to correct songs this allows you to specify that existing field. values should be overwritten unless that song already has a Musicbrainz Id.
Added Edit/Set Value providing an easy way to set the all fields to a user entered value without needing to do a separate Copy and Paste
Added Save Artwork to FileSystem to main menu and context menus. This will save artwork in songs as folder.jpg, and this is the defacto standard used by many player. It assumes that songs are stored one album per folder, if you have multiple albums in one folder you will still only get one folder.jpg created per folder.

Enhancements

Previously if convert a ID3v24 file containing UTF-8 encoded fields to ID3v23 they are converted to UTF-16 even when they could be held as ISO-8859-1 causing problems for Windows Explorer, now they are converted to ISO-8859-1 unless they cannot be represented in that encoding.
Added context menu for Match Songs to Specified Musicbrainz Release and Match Songs to Specified Discogs Release
Correct Metadata from Musicbrainz will now also correct data from Discogs if it has a link to a Discogs release so there is no need to run Update Metadata from Discogs separately.
Remove the option to not write MB Unique ID, MB ReleaseId and MB ArtistId because does not make sense to do this.
Some preferences have been moved to better reflect the new Discogs functionality

Fixes

The Preferences/File and Folder Correct/File And Folder naming/Replace From Character With To Character are applied literally to the renaming mask.
Correct Metadata from Filename fails if mask contains [].
Grouping Add/Replace options do not work if already has a genre UNLESS you have same options set for Genre.
When Jaikoz trial license expires and a full licene is entered Jaikoz shutdowns as if it has failed, although on restart it is clear license was accepted.
Improvements to all translations
Fixed problem with Jaikoz using multiple threads when saving files leading to heavy I/O contention
Horizontal scroll using trackpad or shift-click and wheel on mouse was scrolling main window vertically.
