![]() If there are multiple releases that have a match for every song, we take the release which best matches existing metadata and users personal preferences such as Preferred Release Country. So processing is done in groups, fingerprints are checked for all songs in the group and then we try to find an album that contains the songs that the fingerprints matched to, if there is no matching fingerprinting for a song we rely on metadata. Secondly Jaikoz only matches songs on a song by song basis as a last resort, in the first instance it groups songs by folder (as the majority of users organize their music one folder per album) and/or metadata (because some do not, and sometimes music has not be organized at all). The first thing to realize is that where there is a match fingerprints are great for finding the correct song, but they are not much help for finding the correct release because the exact same recordng can be on many releases. Hi Brent, your summary is actually incorrect. But you cannot use SongKong to erase your existing metadata and you have access to less matching options. Having said all that, currently SongKong does a better job then Jaikoz because it does not suffer from the memory limitations that Jaikoz has, and the matching algorithm has been tweaked with some improvements that are not yet in Jaikoz (but will be). Also Acoustid can only accurately identify the song, but many songs are available on multiple releases and Acoustids in themselves do not help identify the best release to pick.īoth Jaikoz and SongKong use Acoustids AND metadata to achieve the best match, if you remove all metadata then the only metadata that could be used is the name of the folder that the songs are in, a starting assumption is made that songs in the same folder are from the same release. Some of your songs may have a match in Musicbrainz, but not an acoustid to musicbrainz link so will not be matchable by just acoustid. I’m not sure that removing all your metadata is a good idea.
