Jaikoz is a shareware Java program used for editing and mass tagging music file tags. Jaikoz performs acoustic fingerprint matching and metadata lookups. Accuracy is determined by the completeness of the database being used and the quality of the recording. Jaikoz uses the MusicBrainz service. It generates fingerprints (MusicIP's MusicDNS PUIDs) of your files and compares them with the data from the MusicBrainz server.

Additionally Jaikoz matching algorithm compares the metadata files to each other, and performs an 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 "The Beatles" and ten with the artist name "The 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 "The Beatles".

Jaikoz is written in Java 1.5.
