Jaikoz is for editing and mass tagging music file tags, Jaikoz was the first tagger available that could perform acoustic matching automatically without user intervention, the majority of taggers only provide a meta data lookup and because of the inaccuracy of this method require the user to confirm modifications. Accuracy is determined by the completeness of the database being used and the quality of the recording. Jaikoz uses the MusicBrainz service, the tagger generates fingerprints (TRM-hashes) of your files and compares them with the data from the MusicBrainz server.
Jaikoz also provides a novel matching algorithm that compares the metadata files to each other, and performs analysis on the sameness of values, if sufficiently similar the values are changed to the most popular value, this mechanism allows automatic correction of typos. For example if there were fifty records with the artist name Beatles and ten with the artist name Beetles the sameness of the two values would indicate they were the same and all values would be modified to the most popular (the correct) value Beatles.
Jaikoz provides a unique user interface, a split-datasheet view of the metadata allowing data to be compared before and after editing, and to allow quick editing of all metadata, not only the most common meta-data fields.
Jaikoz is developed in Java and hence is available for most operating systems.
