Jaikoz- Discussion Forum

Hi Paul! Funnily enough my MBP is broken, so it will take some days for me to send these files when i eventually remember it.
Cheers,

The problem persists in 3.8.3 Pre-Release

Using latest Jaikoz on OS X 10.6.5.
Steps used:
1. Open a folder with AACs and MP3s on it.
2. Run autocorrector.
3. Save.
4. Get the error.

The files are valid as I already play them with iTunes and Cmus (my default player).
Cheers,

Alright. Great!

After editing files for a while, the playlist is created, but no files would be on it.
I am using OS X v10.5.6, iTunes v8.0.2 and Jaikoz v2.9.1.
I will create the support files and mail them to you, Paul, asap.
Cheers,
Enric

Of course!

Hey Paul!
I have uploaded the screenshot in Skitch. The artwork comes from http://bit.ly/3sUjE2

there it goes
http://skitch.com/enricus/bj14d/fullscreen

I pasted some artwork that i saw on amazon onto some files. The problem is that once saved, iTunes would show them in inverted colors (like in a negative). I am using latest Jaikoz and latest iTunes (2.8.4 and 8.0.2 respectively).
Any idea?
Thanks

EDIT: forgot to especify that happens when pasting with CTRL+V, not downloading automatically via MusicBrainz or loading the file.

After using Windows Media Player, some of the files that i used to have from those times, have not supported data embedded in the file. It would be very useful if Jaikoz automatically stripped all that info for the users like me who don't need that non-standard info anymore...

Hi Paul! First, greetings from Sunny Australia!
Second, i find the preferences window very messy, especially the save dialog, and all the manipulators. I would merge several of the subpages (especially those that have only one option, like Save/General), and i would change the ID3 page in the preferences, tell me if you like it:
Merge ID3v1 and ID3v2,
Choose between: prefer ID3v1, ID3v2, or write both.
If ID3v1 is chosen, cool, otherwise, show the Encoding options, and probably enforce Unicode?
Tell me your thoughts,
Thanks for your attention,
Enric

Oh, OK, this made it clear. Thanks John.

I was working on some media files, by getting the acoustic ids and correcting the MB info. Now, have seen this weird gray zone.
What does this mean?

Nice!

I waited those 24hours and now the entry is more complete! I did try the tagger button, but somehow it didn't work or i wasn't doing the right process...

Before you submitted the message, i already did the MB unique id. You couldn't find the release because it's not in the search DB yet, but you can find it here http://musicbrainz.org/show/artist/?artistid=560626 . Following your advice, i will retrieve the Acoustic IDs tomorrow, and submit them to the MB DB. What i meant is to browse the MB database by query, not by acoustic fingerprint. I was just expecting a window to come up, with a search box, which would add the unique ids for me. Certainly, going to the MB site and entering the IDs manually was a good idea.
Today I learnt that there is a database, separate to MusicBrainz that is called MusicIP. In my opinion, that's useless (better to centralize the stuff in MB) but as i am not the administrator (fortunately for the universal balance), i have to shut up.
Well, thanks for the help, Paul.
