Standard:
New:
· Jaikoz now uses Acoustid for generating and matching songs by their acoustic id instead of AmpliFIND, as a result Jaikoz has been modified in various components to use Acoustids rather than AmpliFIND Ids. However, although you can no longer generate AmpliFIND Ids from Jaikoz it can still make use of existing AmpliFIND Ids in your songs for matching and duplicate finding so some AmpliFIND functions have been retained.
Enhancements:
· Discogs incorrectly uses the sortname for the artist name sometimes if the artist is a group with 'The' in the title. Jaikoz now correctly converts the name to not be the sort name version.
· Provide more information when match to MusicBraizn Release fails to find a good enough match.
Fixes:
· Match to Specified Musicbrainz Release should allow match to your chosen release even if a poor match unless it really cannot match all tracks

· Can now use Shift-Click on the Is Compilation field.
· Improvements to how Jaikoz looks on OSX Lion.
July 28th, 2011· Folder Separator re-added for Rename Subfolder Mask, this was required for Jaikoz on Windows because using '/' in the mask would just be ignored. For this reason masks created in 4.2.0 have not been preserved during update.
July 26th, 2011New:
· Rename filename and subfolder from metadata now use Javascript expressions to specify the mask.
Improvements:
· Now audio fields such as Format, Bitrate and Encoder can be used in Filename and SubFolder masks.

June 28th, 2011Enhancements:
· Manual Correct from Musicbrainz now has access to full inbuilt search by selecting context menu on a song and selecting Advanced Track Search. This lets you do any track search you like, and if you select a result that is added as the match in the Manual Correct Window.
· Match Songs to Specified Musicbrainz Release now gives you access to Advanced Release Search so that you can do custom release searches to find the correct release from within Jaikoz.

May 19th, 2011New Features:
· This release is designed to work with the new MusicBrainz Next Generation Schema (NGS). The new MusicBrainz database has a number of improvements such as
· Uses the new Webservice 2 interface to communicate with MusicBrainz.
· No longer different release events for a release, instead every release event is now a full release.
· The same recording (previously track) can now appear on multiple releases.
· Releases and Recordings can now be credited to multiple distinct artists.
· Artists can have psuedonames (credits) for different releases.
· Because recordings can now be shared some MusicBrainz Unique Ids no longer exist, but if you update your songs from Jaikoz it will correctly update your songs to use the new MusicBrainz Unique Id.
· Added Action/Remote Correct/Submit New Release, this will collate the details of the selected songs and open the Add Release web page in MusicBrainz with the artist, release and song information already completed making it much easier to add new releases.
· Added an artists field that is used to hold each distinct artist credited on a recording/release. This is also used in preference to the artist in the tag browser so that artists are listed individually. For example previously adding the song Jackson by Johnny Cash & June Carter would add a single artist to the tag browser, now two distinct artists will be added Johnny Cash and June Carter, also although the artist field will still contain Johnny Cash & June Carter, the artists field will contain two entries.
· Added MB Original Release Id , this matches the corresponding Original Release field. Also added View/View the Original Release at MusicBrainz to see the details within MusicBrainz
· Added View/View Release Group
· Added the option Preferences/RemoteCorrect/Format/Add EP and Single release types to release title , this can be useful if you have albums and singles with the same name because it is difficult to differentiate between the two and some Media Players such as iTunes will group songs from both releases into one release.
· MusicBrainz now makes it possible when adding a release to use an artist credit different to the artists usual name, to better reflect the actual release. But for consistency you may want to always want to use the artists usual name, to do so enable the option Preferences/RemoteCorrect/Format/Use Artist Name instead of Artist Credit Name
· MusicBrainz can now use the same recording on two different release. (previously this was not possible), sometimes although it is exactly the same track it may be titled differently on each release, for example the single version of a song may just be listed as the song name on the single, but listed as song name (single version) on the album. But for consistency you may wish to always use the recordings usual name so you can enable the option Preferences/RemoteCorrect/Format/Use Recording Name instead of Track Name
· You can now submit Acoustids to the new AcoustId Server directly from Jaikoz. Firstly enter your free AcoustId key in Preferences:MusicBrainz:MusicBrainz Submissions. Then once you have associated your songs with MusicBrainz you can use Remote Correct:Submit MusicBrainz/Acoust Pair to create fingerprints locally and submit MB Id/Fingerprint pairs to the server. This is similar to Submit MusicBrainz/PUID Pair but the fingerprints can be created without accessing the server, the server is only contacted to transmit the information to it. A later release of Jaikoz will probobably start using the AcoustId Server for matching songs, once the AcoustId Server is officially released.
Enhancements:
· In Manual Tag from MusicBrainz can now select a song to match to and use the popup menu to match all tracks to the same release.
· In Manual Tag from MusicBrainz can now view the selected track and release in MusicBrainz using the popup menu.
· If you select View/View this Artist at MusicBrainz for a recording credited to multiple artists each artist will open in a new web page.
· When you add or remove songs from your collection you can now specify which collection to use.
· Added Select All/None options to the Edit Menu.
· Added splash screen while Jaikoz starts.
· MB Artist Id, MB Release Artist Id and MB Disc Id all now support multiple values.
· Can now open OggVorbis files with embedded ID3 header.
· Match to Specified Discogs Release now warns you if unable to match to your chosen release because of significant differences in track durations and allows you to match to your chosen release anyway.
· Delete Duplicates now changed from matching just MB Track Id to match MB Track Id and MB Release Id to preserve expected behaviour, because now an MB Track can be on multiple releases. Added new option to match only on Track Id, so you can delete duplicate versions of the same track even if they are on different releases.
· Artwork size shown beneath artwork in summary tab.
Fixes:
· Edit Menu has been reorganised so more in line with OS Standards.
· Open some files, then cancel, close and reopen it only opens the files it opened before, problem for recent files and drag n drop.
· Track No incorrectly populated from Discogs for Multi-Disc CD Releases.
· Custom fields such as %custom1% format mask not working correctly for Rename File/Folder from Metadata.
· Sliders with limited values allowed now snaps the slider to a valid value.
· Fix database sometimes being created in incorrect location on upgrade.

March 12th, 2011· Occasional hang on Autocorrect From Musicbrainz/Discogs, now timeouts after 5 minutes and moves onto the next song.
· NullPointerException on AlbumArtistKey.stripDiscogsFolders when matching songs from root folder.
· Improved Discogs matching to tracktotal and disctotal fields.
· Fixes problem with Retrieve Acoustic Ids on Linux.
March 8th, 2011New Features:
· Now when you retrieve an acoustic id, the artist and song title are retrieved from AmpliFIND and added to your metadata if your existing artist and title fields are empty, you can adjust this in the Preferences/Musicbrainz/AmpliFIND tab. This improvement means that if you can match a song with no metadata to AmpliFIND you should be able to find the artist and song title even if the songs isn't in the Musicbrainz Database, and if the song is in Musicbrainz but there is no link to it from the Acoustic Id you now have a much better chance of matching it by medata because you have the correct artist and song title.
· If your songs are already organised one album per folder you can get better matching if you enable Preferences/Remote Correct/Match/Group Songs by folder only.
· Local correct tasks like Local Artist Correct now only modify songs that do not have a Musicbrainz Id. The reason for this is that Local Correcters are primarily provided to improve the quaility of your metadata in preparation for Msuicbrainz matching, so having run Autocorrecter on a group of songs you may run it again after making some manual edits to match the remaining unmatched songs, and would not expect songs that have been successfully matched to Musicbrainz to be modified further. You can revert to the previous way of working by checking Preferences/Local Correct/Auto Match/Do local correct on songs that already have a Musicbrainz Id.
· By default Local Artwork Correct ignores folders containing more than fifty songs because it is unlikely that the folder contains only a single album, but sometimes this is the case and you can remove this restriction by checking Preferences/Local Correct/Artwork Correct/Allow Artwork to be loaded from folders containing more than 50 songs.
Enhancements:
· When searching for releases in Discogs now reads upto four page of results, previously only the first page was considered and some matches were missed.
· Improved Musicbrainz and Discogs matching so that it handles preferred country better.
Fixes:
· Occasional hang on Autocorrect From Musicbrainz/Discogs, now timeouts after 5 minutes.
· Autocorrect from Musicbrainz sometimes gives error Arithmetic Divide by Zero.
· Update Metdata from Discogs always updates discno even if set not to.
· Match to Release is sometimes matching to completely incorrect match when it should just find no match at all.
· Discogs matching not handling mutiple discs releases that have subheadings.
· Still sending queries to Discogs after hit limit.
· Problem when pasting single column from spreadsheet into Jaikoz.
· Problem with Preferences if you enter '\' into Correct Metadata from Filename mask.
· Occasional Null pointer on Puid lookup.
February 5th, 2011· Jaikoz improved matching algorithm
· Jaikoz reduced number of queries sent to Musicbrainz.
January 29th, 2011New Features:
· Added the following new fields to Jaikoz custom1, custom2, custom3, custom4, custom5, fbpm, musicbrainz release group id, musicbrainz work id, occasion, original album, original artist, original lyricist, original year, quality, script, tags, tempo, rating, producer, mixer, djmixer these are all visible within the main edit window and most have been added to the details tab.

· The following fields original album, original artist, original lyricist, original year, script, language, engineer, mixer, dj mixer, remixer can now be fixed automatically by Musicbrainz.
· Can now try and find the original album that a song belongs to, this is especially useful when your version of a song is on a compilation and you want to find the original release but don't want to break up the compilation album. It trys to find the earliest release that the song is listed for as part of Autocorrect from Musicbrainz task, if a match is found it can update the original release,original artist and original year fields
· By default no additional queries are done to try and find the original release, but for the best (but slower) results you can enable Preferences:Musicbrainz:Automatch:Do Extra Searches to find Original Releases.
· The original year value can overwrite the year field instead if you enable Preferences:Musicbrainz:Format:Put Original Year into Year field
· The rating field is shown as stars, in line with most Music Players, you can modify the value by just clicking the mouse or using 0-5 keys.
· But because the underlying value is interpreted differently by different applications you can specify what interpretation to use when loading the songs in Preferences:Save:Compatibility:Upload and Save rating so compatible, This currently supports Windows Media Player, Media Monkey and iTunes, except we do not display Media Monkey half-star ratings.
· For Mp3s you can use view and edit the raw ratings within the Popularimeter field within the ID3 Edit Panel.
· Now shows an upgrade window on first start if updating your version of Jaikoz describing the changes since the last version.

OSX Fixes:

October 5th, 2010New Features:
· Autocorrect Metadata from Musicbrainz is now primarily release based, this means it will try very hard to find releases that match groups of songs, and songs already saved in an album folder or with the same value in the release field will not get split up after autcorrection. Correction is only done at the individual song level if no matches could be made at release level. Because of this Acoustics Ids are less important then they were so by default Retrive Acoustic Ids is no longer a default task in the Autocorrecter, instead Autocorrect Metadata from Musicbrainz will create acoustic ids as and when they are needed to help in matching, this can be disabled in MusicBrainz/AutoMatch/Retrieve Acoustic Ids as Required to help with matching. There are many reasons why you may want to continue running Retrieve Acoustic Ids , if you do this can be added back into the Autocorrecter tasks at Manipulators/Autocorrecter/Autocorrecter Tasks.
· But if you want Autocorrect Metadata from Musicbrainz to match to originals releases rather than compilations wherever possible you can do this now. Just check Remote Correct/Match/Prefer do not match to Various Artist Compilations and Prefer do not match to Single Artist Compilations and regardless of your existing metadata Jaikoz will only match to a compilation if unable to find a suitable match to a non compilation release. If you just want to exclude Various Artist Compilations uncheck Prefer do not match to Single Artist Compilations. These options also apply in the same way when using Autocorrect Metadata from Discogs.
· By default Jaikoz ignores any artwork found by the autocorrecters if less than 130x130 pixels in size, you can set this in Local Correct/Artwork Correct/Ignore artwork smaller than this.
· By default Jaikoz resizes any artwork found by the autocorrecters if larger than 800x800 pixels in size, you can set this in Resize artwork if dimensions larger than.
· Added Match to Release/Match Songs to Musicbrainz Release by Barcode which is useful if you are converting your physical discs/records and have the barcode available
· By default when there is a link from a Musicbrainz to a Discogs Release the song is updated from Discogs as well, but you can disable this in by checking MusicBrainz/AutoMatch/Do not Update from Discogs when matching
· Added Set Value and Paste as column menu options so you can easily apply changes to whole columns.
· Added Musicbrainz/AmpliFind/Maximum Cpus to use when retrieving Acoustic Ids, this defaults to one but can be increased to the number of cpus of your computer
· Added General/Database/Database Folder so that you can specify a different location for the Jaikoz database file.
· Added option Preferences:Remote Correct:Match:Only Match complete releases that will only do a match if all songs in a grouping match to one album. Essentially this will only match to complete albums, although if you are missing a song from an album it will still allow a match to the album. Using this option is likely to reduce the number of matches you get.
· Added options Preferences:Remote Correct:Discogs:Only match if matches to Musicbrainz release which is useful if you are an editor of Musicbrainz or Discogs and only want to find matches to Discogs if their metadata matches the corresponding Musicbrainz release, no attempt is made to match to Discogs songs without a Musicbrainz Id.
Enhancements:
· Because many of the tasks such as Autocorrect From Musicbrainz and Autocorrect From Discogs work on song groups the songs are no longer guaranteed to be fixed one by one in the display order so Manipulators/Autocorrecter/Fix Song By Song option has been removed. If you want to run Autocorrecter on sets of songs at a time you can do this by filtering the songs before running the Autocorrecter.
· Cluster Songs has been completely removed because the clustering is now done as part of the Musicbrainz correction.
· You can now scroll down the edit window, and tab on the console whilst autocorrecter tasks are running.
· Paste is now more relaxed, so you can now select paste and then Jaikoz will just ignore fields which are invalid.
· Now when you run Advanced/Empty Cache not only does it clear the internal database but it reclaims disk space.
· Now context menu is still available if you do select all, making it easy to make changes to all valid fields, attempt to non-modifiable fields are silently ignored.
· Can now load songs even if they are a symbolic link or in a folder which is itself a symbolic link.
· Now when you move songs to a different folder, other non music files within the folder are moved as well.
· No longer use Permanent Memory Space to store duplicate strings, so no need to increase PermSize parameter when increasing Heap Size.
· If you use Match to Specified Musicbrainz Release and Jaikoz is unable to match using the id it gives feedback on why.
· Now when you use the Translate foreign artist names to english where possible the composer, conductor and remixer as well as the artist are translated if necessary.
· Improved Musicbrainz matching when you have a Western European name as the artist name and the MusicBrainz artist name is not Western European.
· Polish and Portuguese translations.
Fixes:
· The context menu for Unknown and Unsupported fields is still the old one
· If you type multiple words into the search box it brings results that match any word, it should be all words
· No longer backup jaikozdb to jaikozdb.old when upgrading it can be quite large and is no longer required
· Update Metadata from Musicbrainz no longer works if only put in unique id without release id
· The columns menu is only available on the Edit tab not the ID3 Edit tab at the moment.
· Hangs when use Set Value and then select cancel
· Start Close Files and select Yes to "would you like to save?", then hit cancel, it cancels the save but not the close, so you lose all your remaining changes.
· When run autocorrecter it counts as if task done, when just started instead of when completed.
· Is Compilation flag field being incorrectly updated after Correct from Musicbrainz
· Should warn about 20 file limit upfront when using free trial
· If exit with unsaved files and using free trial Jaikoz should not just exit losing your changes.
· Matching by puid should match on very low score (just track length) if the song has no metadata.
· When importing back from spreadsheet could get 'Cannot get a text value from a numeric cell' error.
· Copy & Paste of artwork between fields doesn't always work.
· Empty folders are not deleted if they have subfolders that are empty.
· Problem loading files with accents in them, complains erroneously that they are symbolic links.
· Allow vertical line character '|' in filename on OSX and Linux
· If cancel loading of songs, and open some new song the songs that were originally cancelled are then loaded.
· If edit subfoldername so that new name clashes, the filename is changed correctly but status is not set to changed and an attempt to save the file will use old filename name part and then complain duplicate so cannot be saved.
August 3rd, 2010Fixes:
· When matching to Musicbrainz and updating to a linked Discogs release the update would fail if only the Discogs update failed.
· When matching from Discogs it would be unable to match and display an error if the song already had a track number larger than the number of tracks on the matched track.
· Now reports correctly if Jaikoz has exceeeded the maximum number of queries it can make to Discogs in a 24 hour period.
· When using Match Songs to Specified MusicBrainz Release or Match Songs to Specified Discogs Release it would not get a match if an id had been entered with trailing spaces.
· Was allowing Renumber trackno to be run on fields that were not track nos.
OS X Fixes:
· Now only requires at least Java 1.5, in the previous release at least Java 1.6 was required.
July 30th, 2010New Features:
· Added AutoCorrect Metadata from Discogs,this works works like AutoCorrect Metadata from Musicbrainz except it is for Discogs. So you can now match all those songs that Musicbrainz failed to find, even better Discogs contains lots of information that you may not have for your existing Musicbrainz matched songs such as genres and higher resolution cover art. Correct Songs from Discogs is release orientated rather than track orientated so it keeps your tracks together, Musicbrainz will be moving this way in the next release.
· Added Preferences/Remote Correct/Preferred media formats option, this should be set to represent the majority of your Music collection to get better matches. For example if your collection is 90% CD's just check the CD option, if its 60% CD, 35% Vinyl and 5% Digital Media check the CD and Vinyl options. Currently this option is only used when matching from Discogs but will be extended to support matching from Musicbrainz.
· Added support for completing the Disc No and Track Total fields from Discogs.
· Added Preferences/Remote Correct/Discogs/Replace if empty or no Musicbrainz Id , now that Discogs can be used to correct songs this allows you to specify that existing field. values should be overwritten unless that song already has a Musicbrainz Id.
· Added Edit/Set Value providing an easy way to set the all fields to a user entered value without needing to do a separate Copy and Paste
· Added Save Artwork to FileSystem to main menu and context menus. This will save artwork in songs as folder.jpg, and this is the defacto standard used by many player. It assumes that songs are stored one album per folder, if you have multiple albums in one folder you will still only get one folder.jpg created per folder.
Enhancements:
· Previously if convert a ID3v24 file containing UTF-8 encoded fields to ID3v23 they are converted to UTF-16 even when they could be held as ISO-8859-1 causing problems for Windows Explorer, now they are converted to ISO-8859-1 unless they cannot be represented in that encoding.
· Added context menu for Match Songs to Specified Musicbrainz Release and Match Songs to Specified Discogs Release
· Correct Metadata from Musicbrainz will now also correct data from Discogs if it has a link to a Discogs release so there is no need to run Update Metadata from Discogs separately.
· Remove the option to not write MB Unique ID, MB ReleaseId and MB ArtistId because does not make sense to do this.
· Some preferences have been moved to better reflect the new Discogs functionality
Fixes:
· The Preferences/File and Folder Correct/File And Folder naming/Replace From Character With To Character are applied literally to the renaming mask.
· Correct Metadata from Filename fails if mask contains [].
· Grouping Add/Replace options do not work if already has a genre UNLESS you have same options set for Genre.
· When Jaikoz trial license expires and a full licene is entered Jaikoz shutdowns as if it has failed, although on restart it is clear license was accepted.
· Improvements to all translations
· Fixed problem with Jaikoz using multiple threads when saving files leading to heavy I/O contention
OSX Fixes:
· Horizontal scroll using trackpad or shift-click and wheel on mouse was scrolling main window vertically.
June 13th, 2010New Features:
· Added Match Songs to One Discogs Release, this searches Discogs and tries resolve the songs to one Discogs release. If a release cannot be found that accomodates ALL songs then no changes are made. This is the first time searching Discogs has been added to Jaikoz, previously Jaikoz only updated information from Jaikoz if there was a link from the MusicBrainz release to Discogs release. This now makes it much easier to fix all those songs that arent in MusicBrainz.
· Added Match Songs to One Musicbrainz Release, this uses a new algorithm to resolve the songs to one MusicBrainz release. If a release cannot be found that accomodates ALL songs then no changes are made. This task can only be run one release at a time but I expect to incorporate it into the main Autocorrect Metadata from Musicbrainz task in the future to improve the matching of songs to the best release.
· Added Match Songs to Specified Disogs Release, this uses a new algorithm to resolve the songs to a Discogs Release Id that you enter. If a release cannot be found that accomodates ALL songs then no changes are made.
· Added Match Songs to Specified Musicbrainz Release, this uses a new algorithm to resolve the songs to a MB Release Id that you enter. If a release cannot be found that accomodates ALL songs then no changes are made.
· Can now use Jaikoz behind a proxy server, specify configuration in Preferences : General : Proxy.
· Comprehensive support for genres, when updating genres from Discogs you can specify whether Discogs genres/styles are added to the genre and/or grouping fields and how many genres to add. All specified in Preferences : Remote Correct : Discogs.
· When downloading genres from MusicBrainz you can specify similar option and also whether or not to use genres linked at song, release and artist level. Specified at Preferences : MusicBrainz : Format 2.
· Added Save and Move as a task to the Autocorrecter. This will move files to the base folder selected in Preferences : Save : General
· Added Save and Move if matched as a task to the Autocorrecter. This will move files to the same base folder if they have a Musicbrainz Id.
· Can now have Jaikoz convert filenames (filename and sub folder fields) to ASCII, (i.e Björk becomes Bjork) this is helpful when storing files on some filesystems. Can be enabled at Preferences : File and Folder Correct : File and Folder Naming : Replace Non-Ascii Characters.
· Can also convert individual characters (i.e ' ' -> '_') defined at Preferences : File and Folder Correct : File and Folder Naming : Replace 'From' Character with 'To' Character.
Enhancements:
· Tag Browser now allows you to select multiple items from the genre, artist and album lists, and you can add/remove items from your selection.
· Playing a sound on completing a task is now disabled by default but can be renabled at Preferences : General : Appearance : Play Sound when task completes..
· There are more Information Popups summarizing when a task has been completed, but this can be disabled at Preferences : General : Appearance : Show Information Popups (the same information is always added to the console).
· Better handling of MP3 files with a corrupt frame, but valid subsequent frames.
· Better handling of MP3 files with encrypted frames
· Reorganised the popup menus so easier to use.
Fixes:
· Tag Browser now indexes lists all genres within songs with multiple genres.
· Added better support for saving multiple genres to ID3v23.
April 10th, 2010Enhancements:
· Now uses the new Ogg Vorbis Metadata_Picture_Block standard for cover art, instead of the non-standard Audioshell COVERART field.
Fixes:
· When using Find and Replace window's Replace text box always overwrites the existing text instead of inserting it.
· Unable to clear out any info from the "Not Supported List" as well as the Unknown List" columns located under the ID3 Edit tab.
· Incorrectly complaining that license is used on more than two computers after multiple Jaikoz crashes.
· Dragging artwork from Google Chrome doesn't work.
· Treating Discogs release master ids as if they are release version ids.
· Taking only the first artist from multiple artist releases from Discogs.
· Error 'For input string:' when saving some mp4 files.
· MusicIP should be AmpliFind to match the company rebranding.
March 17th, 2010New Features:
· Delete Duplicates has a number of improvements. From Preferences:Local Correct:Delete Duplicates you can now decide if the duplicated files should actually be deleted like in previous versions or just moved to a Deletions folder. This allows you to review the deletions further outside of Jaikoz, and it also lets you process songs in batches and then check for further duplicates within the duplicates ! Alternatively you can convert deleted files to links to the remaining duplicate, this is useful for preserving your album structure whilst only keeping one physical copy of the song. On OSX links are created as Aliases, on Windows as Shortcuts and on Linux as Symbolic Links. When you choose the link option the linked files are shown with a status of 'L' until they have been saved.
· Standard deletions can also be moved to a special Deletion Folder now, specified in Preferences:Save:General. Its like having your own Trash or Recycle Bin just for Jaikoz.
· You can now specify a different mask for songs on compilations when renaming filenames and subfolders. This is useful for naming your compilations differently to your standard albums, and can be set in Preferences:File And Folder Correct:Rename Folder from Tags and Preferences:File And Folder Correct:Rename File from Tags
· Can now specify whether songs should be removed from iTunes when duplicates are moved to the Duplicates folder using the Preferences:Local Correct:Delete Duplicates:Delete from iTunes if moving Duplicates checkbox
· Added empty columns options, to clear the values of all visible fields in that column. This option is accessible by right-clicking the column header, and a subset of columns can also be cleared from the Edit:Empty Columns menu.
· Added new translations for French, Russian, Danish, Swedish and Norweigen
Enhancements:
· Jaikoz playlists in iTunes are now created in an iTunes playlist sub folder.
· Copy/Paste context menus are now available for the fields in the Detail pane.
· Copy can now be selected for multiple rows and columns, previously was only allowed for multiple rows
· The Edit actions such as Capitalizer are now allowed if some of fields selected are suitable instead of requiring all fields to be suitable, unsuitable fields are just ignored.
· If you try and open files from a folder that is already loaded Jaikoz now just ignores files that are already loaded instead of preventing the open completely.
· Improved stability connecting to Lyrics server.
Fixes:
· Contention issues when updating Tag Browser with changes.
· Occasional NullPointerException when clustering songs.
· ArrayList OutOfBoundsException when running in Autocorrecter if you run Delete Duplicates, Save Changes and then another task.
· Symbolic link or alias files cannot be loaded in Jaikoz, they should not be because might also have the original file loaded
· If you run an Edit task such as Capitalizer whilst having a field in the detail tab in the throws of being edited the value in that field gets blanked out
· When I copy the album, artist, and title I noticed that copying out from these fields in the list appends a tab character to everything.
· Language field is showing up in Comments on details tab
· Word replacer not converting &'s to and
· Can now read compressed ID3 frames.
February 2nd, 2010· Fixed contention issues when indexing the tag browser.
· Fixed issue with licensing if Jaikoz crashes.
· Improved identification of when Jaikoz is already running on local machine.
January 28th, 2010Enhancements:
· Track No, Track Total, DiscNo and Disc Total are always shown zeroised, but can now prevent mp3s being saved with zeroes by unchecking the Preferences/Save/General/Pad Numbers option, then select Force Save to apply to files that haven't been modified
Fixes:
· Mp4 files store track number as number, so change 1 to 01 in Jaikoz and save it, but when reloaded displayed again as 1, this also causes to be marked as modified.
· Error correcting tags from filename due to the PartofSet changes
· Jaikoz loading no files, and complaining they are symbolic links even though they are not, but the parent is a symbolic link, the error message doesn't make this clear.
· Occasional NullPointerException when revert changes
· Occasional java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException when saving as part of Autocorrecter
· Cannot set Track Total to "Never Populate" in 3.4.2
· WMA saving embedded artwork doesn't persist
· Unable to save because of the following error: java.util.ArrayList cannot be cast to org.jaudiotagger.tag.id3.AbstractID3v2Frame
December 18th, 2009New:

August 8th, 2009New:
· The Preferences/Musicbrainz/Match/Prefer Original Release even if better meta match to later Compilation release option has been added, in most cases Jaikoz will now match a track to the original album even if the metadata favours a compilation, this is the preference of most users but can be reversed by unchecking this option.
· The toolbar has been replaced by a much simpler toolbar, the advanced toolbar is still available by using the Advanced/Use Advanced Toolbar option.
· Enhance
· Match from Musicbrainz can now match songs without a duration in Musicbrainz whilst still rejecting songs whose duration is outside limit of actual song.
· Now the autocorrecter fixes songs one song at a time. For example instead of running Retrieve Acoustic Ids on all songs, then Correct Tags from Musicbrainz on all songs the Autocorrecter now runs Retrieves Acoustic Id on the first song , then Correct Tags from Musicbrainz on the first song, then it starts on the second song. This makes more sense for most people but the old behaviour is still available by unchecking Preferences/Manipulators/Autocorrecter/Fix song by song when possible. One advantage of this change is it is better suited to multithreading, so actually the second song is processed before waiting for the first song to complete, but in a different thread. Because they could be performing a different task (Retrieve Acoustic Id versus Tag from Musicbrainz) they do not get hit by the task constraints as often (such as only one query allowed per second from Musicbrainz Server).
· Preferences/Musicbrainz/Match Score and some options from Preferences/Musicbrainz/Match have been removed. It was not possible to use a single scoring system for all songs , nor practicable for users to adjust the score for different songs. By removing options there is more freedom to make improvements to the matching analysis.

· #1810:Save and Copy and Save and Move should share the default file location displayed for saving files.
· By default Match values that appear misspelt is not enabled for Preferences/Local Correct/Auto Match because it can cause incorrect matches.
· The Manual Tag from Musicbrainz window now remembers it location and size between calls.
· OSX Fixes - #1781:Unexpected Error / IsSpecialFolder:Null Pointer Exception fixed.
August 7th, 2009New:
· Preferences/Musicbrainz/Match/Prefer Original Albums over Compilations has been added, in most cases Jaikoz will now match a track to the original album even if the metadata favours a compilation, this is the preference of most users.
· The toolbar has been replaced by a much simpler toolbar, the advanced toolbar is still available by using the Advanced/Use Advanced Toolbar option.
Enhance:
· Match from Musicbrainz can now match songs without a duration in Musicbrainz whilst still rejecting songs whose duration is outside limit of actual song.
· Now the autocorrecter fixes songs one song at a time. For example instead of running Retrieve Acoustic Ids on all songs, then Correct Tags from Musicbrainz on all songs the Autocorrecter now runs Retrieves Acoustic Id on the first song , then Correct Tags from Musicbrainz on the first song, then it starts on the second song. This makes more sense for most people but the old behaviour is still available by unchecking Preferences/Manipulators/Autocorrecter/Process Song by Song whenever possible. One advantage of this change is it is better suited to multithreading, so actually Song Two is processed before waiting for Song One but in a different thread, but because they could be performing a different task (Retrieve Acoustic Id versus Tag from Musicbrainz) they do not get hit by the task constraints as often (such as only one query allowed per second from Musicbrainz Server).
· Preferences/Musicbrainz/Match Score and some options from Preferences/Musicbrainz/Match have been removed. It was not possible to use a single scoring system for all songs , nor practicable for users to adjust the score for different songs. By removing options there is more freedom to make improvements to the matching analysis.
Fixes:
· #1623:Problem decoding some artwork with error 'Empty Region'.
· #1772:Added all numbers to the genre blacklist.

· #1810:Save and Copy and Save and Move should share the default file location displayed for saving files.

May 13th, 2009New:
· Rewrote Coverart memory handling so that fullsize and preview images are all stored in the database, including artwork downloaded from other sources. Generally this doubles the number of files that can be loaded into Jaikoz before hitting memory limits (previously only fullsize artwork was stored in the database, the preview image was stored in memory).
· Jaikoz now stores information about songs within its database as they are loaded, this allows them to be reloaded at least twice as quickly. This is the first step towards allowing complete collections to be loaded into Jaikoz whatever the size.

September 17th, 2008· Support for Discogs has been added, if a track has a Release Discogs Url the new Update Tags from Discogs action can get the information from Discogs and put into the song. Over twenty different fields can be populated from Discogs, including Artwork. The Release Discogs Url is set when updating from Musicbrainz if there is a link in the Musicbrainz database, alternatively you can search for it yourself and enter it directly into the Release Discogs Url field for the songs on the release. You only need to find the release, Jaikoz will work out the track specific information by comparing the track title, track number and track duration.
· Update tags from Existing Musicbrainz Id has been improved so that if your track does not have a Musicbrainz Id but it does have a Musicbrainz Release Id it can use this to find the correct track and update the track information. This allows you to control exactly what release to use for a track and you only need to find the release for a set of tracks and Jaikoz will work out the track specific information by comparing the track title, track number and track duration.
· Manual Correct Tags from Musicbrainz has had a number of improvements to it. More columns are shown than before, and you can hide/show,resize and reorder columns and these changes will automatically be saved. When a track has multiple release events, such as released in different countries or different formats, each release event is shown as a seperate record so you can choose exactly which release event to use. There is now a Search Button for each song that does a search on Musicbrainz and shows the results on a webpage, you can select an option to use by pressing the Tagger button or do another search. There is now a View Button for each choice so they can be viewed on the Musicbrainz Website to get more information about the track. Now whilst you are reviewing the options Jaikoz works on the next bacth in the background so you do not have to wait long for the next batch to be ready.
· Save and Move has been added to the Main Menu, it will save and move all fields currently listed in the main edit window.

July 15th, 2008· Retrieval of Acoustic Ids now utilizes multiple cpus if your computer has them to process multiple tracks in parallel
· The Genre field can now be fixed from Musicbrainz Folksonomy Tags. Jaikoz prefers to use tags that match the standard ID3 genre list, in case of a tie the tag used by most users to tag a release or track is preferred. Jaikoz also includes a configurable blacklist of tags that should not be used as genres when receiving from or submitting to folksonomy tags, you can use '*' as a wildcard match.
· Folksonomy Tags is a relatively new addition to Musicbrainz so tags are not available for many of the releases yet but one of the advantages of this system is that genres can also be submitted back from Jaikoz as Musicbrainz Folksonomy Tags. This is an open system that is even being supported by the BBC. If everybody that used Jaikoz submits their tags back to Musicbrainz the quality of Folksonomy tags should increase rapidly.
· Jaikoz now uses an embedded Database to store details of every release and artist downloaded from Musicbrainz, that is preserved between invocations of Jaikoz. Because this information is held in the database rather than memory this reduces memory usage. Jaikoz uses this locally stored release data so that it doesn't actually have to a lookup for every track if it can find a good match by looking at already downloaded and used releases. Consider the usual case of all tracks in a release being looked up if the metadata is good enough the new system will only require one track, artist and release lookup for the first track, all the other tracks can be matched using the downloaded release info so more tracks can be corrected more quickly.
· The Capitalizers have now been renamed to better reflect what they do, and the Title Case Capitalizer has been improved so it more accurately matches the conventions used within Musicbrainz. There is now an exception list for capitalizers, so certain words preserve formatting i.e. U2 or UB40.
· When using Rename Folder From Tags or Rename File from Tags the number of fields that can be used has been increased to support most of the Jaikoz Meta fields available, to better support this the fieldname formats have been changed from %A, %B... to %artist%, %title%....
· A simple IF statement is now supported for Rename Folder From Tags or Rename File from Tags, allowing you to check if a field has a value. For example $if(%album%,%album%-) would write the value of abum and a hyphen character only if album has a value. Full scripting will be added in a later version of Jaikoz.
· Tag from Filename now expects you to specify the format of the filenames when extracting the filename information into tag fields, because it was not always possible for Jaikoz to correctly guess a filenames components without a hint. But Jaikoz still uses heuristics to get the best match when a filename could match the mask in multiple ways.
· Added Create Support Files to make it easy to submit bug reports to Jthink
· Added Empty Cache to empty the database if you want to force Jaikoz to make all its check against Musicbrainz rather the embedded Database
· Improvements to memory usage and memory management.
· There have been a number of fixes to the Correct Tags Musicbrainz, although some of these will not take effect until Musicbrainz Search Server Update has been released.
· Special field startist% has been added to Rename Folder From Tags and Rename File from Tags. This uses the Album Artist if exists and if it doesn't it uses the Artist field.
· The field %year% always returns only the year portion even if it holds a complete date, this is more useful to Rename Folder From Tags and Rename File from Tags tyhan returning the whole date.
· Tag from Filename has an additional option Only Populate Fields if Empty that is enabled by default.
· Maximum and minimum heap memory shown in console at startup.
· Added What should Year Contain option to the Year formatter so that all years can be converted to year or full date format.

· Barcode, Label, ISRC, Conductor, Lyricist, Remixer,Release Wikipedia Url and Release Discogs Url can be automtically populated from MusicBrainz.
· Added a Delete Duplicates task. In the preferences you can specify that a duplicate is a track with the same MusicBrainz Id as another track, the same MusicIP Id as another, or the same Musicbrainz Id and MusicIP Id as another.
· Added a Prefer Acoustic Id even if rating lower than meta match that is disabled by default, (Jaikoz previously acted as if this option was enabled). Keeping this option disabled will make it more likely that Jaikoz will use the same release for all tracks on one album.
· Added Possible Matches must be within Track Duration option that is enabled by default (this works the same as Jaikoz previously). But if you disable this it will allow musicbrainz to return tracks that are outside the range of your track length. This is useful for picking up tracks where the track length has been entered incorrectly in Musicbrainz or where your encoding is inaccurate.
· Your preferences are now preserved from your previous version of Jaikoz

February 8th, 2008· This release fixes an issue with v2.2.1.
February 4th, 2008· The Musicbrainz Format Sort Album Artist preferences could not be modified, this is now fixed.
· Correct Tags from Filename was broken, this is now fixed.
January 31st, 2008· Added option to prefer albums that have already been used by other tracks when matching tracks in MusicBrainz.
· Added option to specify your preferred type of release such as Original Album, Compilation or Single when matching MusicBrainz tracks.
· Added option to prefer official albums when matching track in MusicBrainz.
· Added option to specify your preferred country when matching MusicBrainz tracks.
· Added a Match Score Preference Tab for matching from Musicbrainz that allows you fine control over the Musicbrainz Matching. You can allocate points to each component of the match depending on how important you think it is. For example if you think it is very important that the track selected has a release that it is one of the preferred release types but you are not too concerned that the track number must match you could increase the release types rating, and reduce the track no match rating. The total rating can never exceed 100.
· Added option to force tracks matched acoustically to also meet a minimum metadata match threshold.
· Added the Cluster Albums task, this analyses all the selected tracks that have been matched in Musicbrainz and groups them by artist and album and tries to reduce the number of release ids the tracks are spread over. Why is this needed? Many albums exist within Musicbrainz as multiple releases, usually this is because the album was released with an extra track in a particular country. All the track ids for an album are unique to that album because of the design of musicbrainz, so that even if there is an identical track on both releases it will have different track ids. Now when a puid is created for a song it is likely to only be associated to one of the track ids. So what typically happens when you look up some tracks from one album in Jaikoz is that it finds matches, but some are for tracks in one version of the release and some in another.
· Jaikoz now checks for new versions of Jaikoz when it starts.
· Added option for when Retrieving Acoustic Ids to do full analysis on tracks that are not currently in the Music IP database and submit them to MusicIP (this option is not enabled by default).
· Previously when images we added to a file, they were saved in memory until the changes were saved, now I have created an Artwork Cache which holds the image data on disk, this considerabbly reduces the memory imprint without effecting performance.
· Added Greek translation
· Your iTunes library can now be automatically updated when files are saved in Jaikoz, this option is enabled by default for OSX and disabled by default fo Windows. You can see the complete set of option on the Preferences/Save/iTunes Autoupdate tab.
· It is now possible to open multiple folders rather than just a single folder (and its subfolders)
· There is now a single Preferences Menu instead of the seperate Settings Menus, and now any changes made to your preferences are now automatically saved.
· General Memory improvements have reduced average memory usage by 20%.
· When the release country is found in MusicBrainz it previously saved the two letter country code (i.e FR), Jaikoz now saves the country name (i.e France).
· The composer and sort composer fields can now be populated from the Musicbrainz lookup.
· Your license and preferences are now stored in your home folder. Assuming an english locale the location for OSX is /users/username/Library/Preferences/Jaikoz, Windows Vista is C:UserspaulJaikoz and Linux is /home/username/Jaikoz/Prefs.
· The Encoder field has been added to the Detail/Info tab
· Moved Highlighter and Reports sub menus to top level menus.
· Previously the Is Compilation field was not being written correctly for mp3 files.
· Previously when matching from Musicbrainz, if a track did not match on the title it would not be returned even if it matched on all the other fields, this restriction has been relaxed, although by default a match on the title is required for a track to get a high score.
· Previously Jaikoz could not read Mp4 files created by Winamp, this has now been fixed.
· Previously Jaikoz could not save changes to files that were created by faac 1.25, this has now been fixed.
