Jaikoz takes a more realistic approach.įor example maybe you have a compilation album consisting of songs by various artists, the obvious approach during release based matching would be to match these songs to the same compilation album in MusicBrainz but some customers are not interested in compilations and require the songs to be matched to the original album they were released on even though they do not own the original release. Some taggers take a one size fits all approach, click on a button and it will fix everything, no preferences are required because it will be perfect. It can then match this fingerprint against the AcoustId Database to get a match and retrieve unto forty different pieces of metadata from common fields such as artist and album to catalogue, barcode and producer. Once created the acoustic fingerprint is always valid for the song and never needs to be recreated.

Jaikoz uses Acoustic Matching to create Acoustic Fingerprints of any track, it doesn't need any metadata (such as artist or album) to do this. with no additional information, how do you identify them ? Jaikoz only matches songs individually if it fails to find an album that all the songs match to.ĭo you have any tracks called Track 1, Track 2. Jaikoz groups songs by their metadata and their folder and matches groups of songs to a release using metadata and acoustid rather than matching songs individually, this gives much better results. So if you just match each song one by one you can end up with songs that should all be on one variant of a release spread out over many releases, this is not what you want !. Songs are often released on many variants of a release, i.e an album could be released in a limited edition with extra bonus tracks, or there may be different variants released in different countries, and the song could be available on an artists Best of Compilation or Various Artists compilations.
