SongKong or Jaikoz

When considering SongKong or Jaikoz they have some key differences.

SongKong Advantages

• Also has a web interface so can be used on headless linux and nas devices
• Only requires memory for the folders it is actually processing so does not use more memory for larger libraries and can therefore be used for libraries of any size
• Has an Persistent Undo feature that can be used after files have been saved
• Is simple to use with only a few main (but configurable) tasks
• Detailed reporting kept for every task run
• New features usually come to SongKong before Jaikoz

Jaikoz Advantages

• Familiarity, more like other tag editors you may have used
• More flexible when matching with extra tasks such as Match Album by Barcode and Match Album by Catalog No
• Better manual editing than SongKong and allows import of metadata from spreadsheet
• Jaikoz lets you check the results before saving

The most important feature that they both have in common is that you can point Fix Songs/Autocorrect to your music collection and it will identify the songs and the correct albums whereas most other taggers applications only let you do this one album at a time.

In summary SongKong is better for fully automated matching and can be used on more platforms, Jaikoz allows more customization, control and manual editing.

Possibly the best solution is to use SongKong most of the time, but use Jaikoz when needed for situations that SongKong cannot resolve. Many customers have both applications.
