Jaikoz- Discussion Forum

Starting with the note:

I just loaded the latest version 4.5.4 on a fresh install of Win7 64 bit. When I started it for the first time it asked to install Java 1.6, I said yes, but when I started the program it gave a java.sql.SQLsomething error. I went over to Oracle and DL'd the latest version of Java and everything starts fine now.

Question:

I bought the full license a while back which includes free updates etc for life. Do I still need to pay for the new Pro Licenese to get the new features or are they included in the "full" license?

thanks

Thanks for the response Paul. I think I get how Jaikoz works with the missing tracks feature. I'm wondering if there is a way to tweak it a little to make it more useful.

Here is the issue. I have a folder with a full album. All of the songs are there, I have checked them against another database and they are correct. Let's call this Green Day American Idiot (appropriate). Now the MB ID for each song might all be correct for that one album but in this case, one song is identified as something else, let's say greatest hits or euro release. Then the missing track feature shows that the album is missing this track.

Would it be possible for Jaikoz to interrogate the album name and check that against the album name in the tags for that folder? If that happened it would know that they were all from the same album. Then if it found that there was a title name that was not listed in that folder, but was listed in the MB database for that album, it would then show up. That way I wouldn't see false negatives for every track...but only for the ones that were actually missing a track that MB knew about.

Maybe this is just too complicated to actually implement the way i'm thinking. An alternative might be to look at the track numbers listed in the tags and make sure that there are no gaps. So if it sees a folder with an album and tracks 1,2,4,5,6,7,8 it would at least call that out and say, "looks like you are missing something here".

thanks again for the great work. I have about 120K songs and without the help of Jaikoz it would have been impossible to get everything straight.

I love the copy and paste function for art and genre etc.

I just tried using the missing track report and it doesn't really do what I thought it would do. It gives me a ton of false negatives. In facts, for the first 20 albums i tried I all of the albums showed at least one missing track, but the tracks listed were actually there. I'm guessing that this has to do with the fingerprinting or something. The track fingerprint for the song is differnt than the MB version or something? ANyway...it would be nice if you could have the program double check the track name against the tags in the folder to make sure that they aren't just there. I'm not sure how hard this would be to implement but it sure would be helpful

thanks

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, Jaikoz 3.8.3 latest Java, both 32 and 64bit loaded.

I have a directory with 84 songs that I would like to tag. The ID checking is slow,but also the artwork is giving me null exception errors.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times. I tried to find the Jaikozdb file but it want's in the user directory and i couldn't locate it. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

error i'm getting is

java.lang.NollPointerException:com.jthink.jaikoz.Buffered.creaeBufferedImageFromRawData(Buffered.java:143

I'm looking for some input in speeding up my checking.

Right now, on a e8500 with 8GB RAM, win 7 64-bit...im getting about 1 song precessed every 3 seconds. I'm not sure this is normal, but i'm just running stock. Should I look at adapting to a 64bit java or something else? It just seems slow.

thanks

BTW, great program. I recommend this to everyone I know.

Just a simple and I think easy item...It would be nice to have a global preferernce drop down or radio button for these options. It's a bit of a waste of time to select each on independently if you are planning to have them all set the same way. So you would add a drop down for "Global settings" with the options 1) only replace if empty, 2) always replace and 3)never alter etc...

ok, so I deleted the folder and Jaikoz starts, but now I'm noticing that it created a new folder on my F: drive. I would rather have this directory on my C: drive. how can I change this?

Hey,

I just loaded the latest version 3.6.0 on my Windows 7 (x64) system. When I start the program, nothing comes up, but one of my drives spins like crazy. after a little investigation...I noticed that there is a Jaikoz directory on that drive that houses a database of some kind. My guess is that this has something to do with the program...though I'm not sure what...and I would also guess that you are doing something in that directory as part of the update...possibly rearanging the DB or something. my issue is that there is no message to the user letting them know to wait so my assumption is that the program is not working correctly.
