A few requests for MP3s and 24 bit WAV each year. 16-44 WAVs for approval and then whatever formats they request. I don't foresee a lot of file tagging in my near future so a standalone tagger should do the trick!Īlso, I don't by default deliver nearly as many different formats as some MEs do. That would slow me down way too much at first. I'm so dug in with PT that, even though I'm full time mastering now, the idea of learning a new DAW has zero appeal to me. I was doing both recording and mastering for most of my career and I started with Digidesign Sound Designer 2 in 1993 and PT in 1994 when it was just a 4 track 16 bit DAW. I use Pro Tools because that's how my business evolved. It's a little embarrassing to be asking about it this late in the game, but here I am! This new client has a publicist who wants tagged WAVs and MP3s so I'm finally going to do it. There have been no complaints, most clients are repeaters and business has been great. Even major labels have not asked me for tagged tracks, just CD Text. Only issue is that it cannot handle some MP3pro encoded files.Keep up the good work and I highly recommend the software.” - Kamlesh, you master about 3 albums a month, I can't imagine wanting to do the tagging in a 3rd party app for all the files/formats for every project.Īssembling the the master in a mastering DAW that can essentially tag the rendered/exported files with the info it already has inside the DAW for any and all files saves times, and promotes accuracy and consistency.To be totally honest, and this may sound crazy, in 26 years of mastering this is the first time I'm tagging files! All my clients have been letting their aggregators and distributors handle the metadata. If you do try to Acustic ID it does take longer but once that is done getting a hit on MusicBrainz database very high. I have using it extensively (100GB MP3 collection) since I bought the license via Papal and the product is extremely stable. I did look for alternatives but did not find anything that did both MusicBrainz and MusicIP both. One of the few software I have actually paid for. Last but not least, changes are only saved when you click the appropriate button.” - DAntono, Your tracks are matched with MusicBrainz before they're edited only if it cannot find a song online will Jaikoz apply an offline algorithm, all the time giving you feedback and control over the process. Unlike similar software I've used, this one it is suspicious of your tags and folder construction and begins the decision-making process from point zero. What really sets Jaikoz apart from the competition is that it doesn't make mistakes. I gave it my collection of thousands of tracks that was getting out of control and it turned it into a coherent music library, complete with Artists, Albums, Track Names, Artwork, all properly renamed and neatly placed into relevant folders. “Jaikoz seems to work almost magically.Thanks for your contribution to the music community and for saving me hours of work.” - 87boosted, Jaikoz Discussion Forum Great job on this and thanks for providing a product that has met my expectations and beyond. I cannot believe at how well it took care of the work I never felt was worth bothering with and I had not listened to the folder due to the disorganization for some time. “I just purchased the software after trying the program on a large group of mp3's that have been in my collection for almost 7 years.Jaikoz Audio Tag Editor also lets you edit your metadata manually, and even offers a convenient spreadsheet view so that you can quickly edit multiple songs and albums. Together, these features allow Jaikoz the flexibility to lookup the correct information for your songs with or without metadata. Many of these songs also have associated acoustic id's that allow a song to be identified by the actual music.
