Jaikoz- Discussion Forum

Arghh, how stupid i am! "Update tags from existing MB ID"!! Any way to search MusicBrainz from within Jaikoz?

Hi Paul! I was given an album by a friend of mine as present for my future birthday. I wanted to contribute to MusicBrainz by submitting this CD there (it's a not well-known band, Projekt Caravelle). So i ripped it into iTunes (obviously, no CDDB info), submitted the info to MusicBrainz from the cover of the album, and then ran Jaikoz against those tracks. For sure, there wasn't any Acoustic ID on the MusicIP server, so Jaikoz told that i had to wait 24 hours to retrieve the ID. Is there any way to directly submit the ID to MusicBrainz, so that i can tag all my files from there? Maybe i haven't made the process in order, was just guessing.
Thanks in advance,
Enric

Uhmm that's a good idea. Maybe this could be implemented in the AutoCorrect batch tasks...

With iTunes v8, it seems that this issue is corrected. The default "keep folders organised" is working perfectly, and the update itunes xml in Jaikoz works as expected. Now we can enjoy Jaikoz+iTunes without problems! (just checked it by playing files and editing them in Jaikoz meanwhile).

In my opinion, it would be better to run Jaikoz on every machine against the remote files, be it over SMB or AppleTalk. Isn't it easier? I find it more simple than having to rely on Xgrid. Just my .02c

What language would be the plugins programmed in? Java? Just wondering.

I don't need the Tag Browser view. Is there any view to disable it? I am using Mac OS X Leopard v4. Thanks

Thank you Paul, you are right: the menu works as expected. The mistake was invoking the dialog via the context menu.

1. I have a bunch of files and I want to change the date for all of them to 1975. I would like to select the date fields for the lot and just type 1975, but that doesn't work. The workaround I've used is to type 1975 in one slot, return, return, up arrow, copy, select the rest of them, paste. That seems inefficient to me; is there a better way?

I am using a Mac too, so, if you want to quick edit a field, you don't need to hit Enter. Just scroll to the field and start typing there, so you avoid the keystrokes involving Enter.
Good luck!

LyricWiki, as it name implies, is a wiki for lyrics. It has a huge database of lyrics which can be freely edited. Thus, it would be a very nice feature to have such a good collaborative tool built in into Jaikoz. Furthermore, it's very easy to implement it, as the lyrics are enclosed in the <lyrics> html tags.
The website of LyricWiki is lyricwiki.org, and the registration is free.
Thanks for your attention.

Right now we have to select all the tracks and then "Correct Lyrics". However, as we already have files loaded in a batch, operations like MusicBrainz lookup and similar actions don't need to select all tracks. So, i suggest that the Correct Lyrics works on the loaded tracks instead of individually selecting them. What do you think?

Wow! Thanks Paul!
I am just trying to generate the PUIDS of some dozens of files. I'll let you know if it will hang or not.

Is Jaikoz expected to open 2 instances of genpuid for parallell identification of tracks in multi-core systems? if not, it would be nice to double the speed of generating the IDs

Good job paul! Working like a charm here!

more flexible than most taggers

Indeed!
