![]() As for composers/artists, SongKong is on the right track "normalizing" the names. and even the orchestra: Wiener Philharmoniker-> Vienna Philharmonic, Harmonie českých filharmoniků ->Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. as well as the key: C-mol, -> C Minor, G-dur -> G, etc. It would operate on the music "form" Sonate->Sonata, Violinkonzert->Violin Concerto, etc. ) Similarly would really help having a search and replace capability. Manual overrides much needed and could use some extra support in the "spreadsheet-style" editing (such as replicating the current column (currently only supports replicating the first row. Reason: easier to delete the album from the intermediate folder and re-start the process. I'm spending a lot of time doing these "manual tweaks" and find it's easier to update my new iTunes library on an album by album basis from my existing iTunes library, going through an intermediate folder, before doing the move the the new iTunes "automatically add to iTunes" folder. With the classical albums, the "work and movement" support really helps - I often have to do "manual tweaks", but SongKong does do a lot of the "information gathering and presentation" from the on-line databases. really helps when navigating my music library in iTunes. Recorded with a WebCam.Maybe you like it.(Its an acoustic song about some feelings I used to have. Providing consistency in the filename, conductor, composer, artist, etc. If the tracks are a decent quality and the release is in the Musicbrainz or Discogs database, Jaikoz will correctly tag the tracks with an over 99% accuracy.Ī very useful tool in organizing my 1000+ albums (mostly Classical). Overall the accuracy is very good though. (I'm running Jaikoz on a server with 2 CPU, 8 core each, 64GB of memory Windows Server 2019 standard, 4 OCZ Vertex 4 250Gb SSD and 500Mbit internet connection). Also memory use frequently exceeds 12GB when a larger collection is loaded. Any larger than this and the GUI gets sluggish and so once in a while just stops responding all together for a few seconds. Though Jaikoz looks fairly professional, some file handling and database optimization really needs to be done for collections of over 100k tracks locally on SSD, or about 50k when this collection resides on external storage like a NAS. MP3tag is a lot faster with Musicbrainz, though not with Discogs. Also the update from Musicbrainz is terribly slow most of the time, though I strongly suspect this is the Musicbrainz API most of the time and not necessarily Jaikoz. You have to go through every release one by one and check these by release if you want metadata updated or added. What disturbs me a little is that the automatic correction does not update metadata when there is already some basic data there. This means SongKong users can enjoy a fast, accurate fix for their music collection every-time.The overall ease of use and layout is petty good. My MusicBrainz know-how has led me to construct the dedicated JThink Music Server, updated regularly from MusicBrainz and Discogs to provide a web service optimized for tagging from SongKong. This includes what people use to search for albums on MusicBrainz and their web service. ![]() I have also previously worked as a developer for MusicBrainz, responsible for writing their search code. I value your feedback and queries and aim to be as responsive as possible SongKong uses the professional JIRA issue tracking for tracking issues that cannot be resolved within a day. As the developer I am determined to make SongKong the best tagger available for all platforms, and therefore I actively encourage comments, bug reports and questions. SongKong support comes direct from the developer. So if you have a PC at work and a Mac at home you can use SongKong effectively in both settings. ![]() SongKong is available for both the Mac and PC, with support for OS X, Windows and Linux. SongKong can automatically update the new iTunes Work and Movement fields.Ĭlick here to find out more about Classical Music Tag editing. ![]() It can also identify other Classical information such as the Opus No and the performers with their instruments. SongKong identifies Classical releases and captures this additional information in dedicated metadata fields. Work, or conversely multiple works, so the album grouping may not be the most important grouping. When Classical music is released as an album it may only contain part of a These works comprise sub works or movements, and there may be additional levels. In Classical it is more complicated, Classical composers work in terms of Symphonies or Sonatas the album was conceivedĪnd created as a single body of work. In Pop/Rock an album usually represents the artistic intent of the artist, i.e. The Metadata demands for Classical are very different to Pop/Rock music, credit is usually given to not only the performer but also theĬonductor, orchestra and composer.
