Jaikoz- Discussion Forum

On Windows 7 and just spent two days waiting for 2600 MP3s to match and then when I wasn't watching Windows rebooted the computer to apply updates and now I'm starting over. It is almost the exact situation as the OP so that is why I thought I should mention it here. I'm going to keep searching for some performance enhancing threads but if you've made any progress on this please post updates.

This license is currently being used by two other computers, this is the maximum allowed. If you need to use Jaikoz on this computer shut down Jaikoz on the other computer or purchase additional licenses.

I don't know why I'm getting this but I have reinstalled my OS on my Linux box and I have a new Laptop too but Jaikoz is only installed on the Laptop now. I have no other computers currently running Jaikoz or that even have Jaikoz installed on them.

That sounds like something I can easily try and yes it would be great to have an option to run those tasks automatically after matching.

Thanks,

What I think would be a killer feature to see added to the pro version is the ability to have a second auto correct option.

Don't get me wrong I love that idea and it is something that would be a good feature addition for Jaikoz just not for the pro version. I see the pro version as supporting difficult to implement additional features that wouldn't appeal to everyone and while this is a great idea, it is really more a new standard feature than anything. Again, just my opinion.

I don't even have the pro version yet though I may get it. I'd like to see a server based product for pro. Maybe configure tasks and then leave running in the background and it would operate on any content in a specified folder., or maybe command line operation so it could be used with cron or windows task scheduler. Something like that.

There is this script called flactomp3 that while much, much simpler in operation than jaikoz does this effectively. I can just give it a path like

flac2mp3 /path/with/flac /path/to/put/mp3s

I'd think jaikoz would be awesome if it operated like that.

Even if I had to open the client application up to initially configure it.

I'd certainly pay for that feature, and probably even more than what Paul's currently asking for pro.

You can use 'Shift Base Folder to Sub Folder' a few times so that the whole folder path is in the Sub Folder field then it should work as you want.

Yeah, that is what I've been doing though recently I've just started doing "Change Base Folder" followed by "Correct Subfolders from Metadata". That seems to do the same thing but with fewer steps. I've noticed that I tend to work with two "base paths" when Jaikoz: One folder is where the music that you are cleaning up lives. The other folder is where you want it to go when you are done.

I'd like to have a constant "Final Base Path" for many reasons but I was just realizing recently that if I could set that path I could then add "Save and Move" to autocorrect tasks and the last step would just put the music in the correct folder and save.

For example, I'd like to setup autocorrect to do:

Local tasks...
Remote tasks (match to a release, get acoustic ids, etc)
Correct Filenames from Metadata
Correct Subfolders from Metadata
Save Artwork to folder (don't think this is even on the list)
Save and Move (to final location)

On a related note, I realized that if I add "Correct Subfolders from Metadata" after a "Save changes" in the autocorrect list it causes warning messages about some files not being saved.

Also, one more thing. If I recall correctly "Match to a single release" sometimes gets just one PUID/acousticid (whatever terminology we are using

which allows it to match and then just doesn't bother getting the rest of them?

Sorry for so much in one reply.

Both done in Jaikoz 4.3.0 Beta now available

Thanks Paul.

I'll give it a try soon.

Nothing, error message

Ok, I'll consider everything you just said and try to think of what to do next. The cumbersome method you mentioned is what I'm trying to request be automated. All you really need is a track number and a release id.

For example, I want to match an album but Jaikoz doesn't want to match (for whatever reason). I then select "Force match against musicbrainz release id: <some id>

Jaikoz then populates the release id and unque id based on the information provided using the track numbers as a key and then updates the metadata from musicbrainz.

Of course, if the user gives it an incorrect release id there is nothing that can be done about that, they just get what they asked for.

Updated, answered the wrong thread ;)

I will check the PUIDS against musicbrainz.

It is basically the same process as splitting FLAC/CUE which I also do. The times are whatever is in the CUE sheet as split by shnsplit on Linux. I can't say that I've verified every time it fails but of the ones I have verified they are usually right on the money or very close to at least one release on MB.

Tried both neither work. Also, this isn't limited to any single release but any release that has no metadata

Yes, it will generate puids that are used to get the acoustic ids and then it will match against a release based on the acoustic id. Or at least it should work this way and has in the past, just no longer.

I have already verified that the release is correct but Jaikoz still refuses to match when I specify the release id. What I'm asking for is for it to simply take my word for it and override any checking. This way it will populate the metadata from the release I've selected without checking.

It should get the acoustic ids and then match but it won't unless there is other information. It can generate the acoustic ids from nothing but the files.
