22nd of January 2007 Jaikoz v1.4.0 Build 1018 released.

This is a major release with a host of new functionality

Restrictions
  • This new version of Jaikoz is the first to require Java 1.5 rather than Java 1.4, so you should check your Java version and install a later version if neccessary. This should only be a problem if you are currently running OSX 10.3 because Java 1.5 is not supported until OSX 10.4
  • Unfortunately the Create Acoustic Ids feature is not currently available for Intel Macs, this problem should be resolved within a couple of weeks
New Features
  • Now creates Acoustic Ids using MusicIP's system, this is much more accurate than the previous system. Additionally once an acoustic id is created you never need to create it again because it is unaffected by any other records in the database.

  • Looks up on MusicBrainz can now be done concurrently
