• Add Save and Copy Option that allows you to save changes to songs and copy them to a different folder.
• Improved matching algorithm for tracks with no title or default title such as Track1, Track2.
• Now when you reorder or resize columns the changes are automatically preserved for when Jaikoz is restarted.

Now supports updating tags from Discogs, Update tags from Musicbrainz can now work just from Release Ids and many improvements to Manual Tag from Musicbrainz

Improvements include now sets the preferred musicbrainz country for releases based on the locale of the computer. Now treats ` character the same as ' when finding a match on Musicbrainz. When track matches multiple releases identically pick the release where its total number of tracks matches the total number of tracks loaded into Jaikoz with the same release name. Checks that outgoing access to port 10001 is open and warn if it isn't, this is required for Retrieve Acoustic Ids to work optiminally.

• Genres can now be fixed from and submitted to Musicbrainz.
• Retrieval of Acoustic Ids now utilizes multiple cpus if your computer has them to process multiple tracks in parallel.
• 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.

30th ofJanuary 2008 Jaikoz v2.2.0 Build 1040 released

This is a major release and adds Improved MusicBrainz Matching, Updating iTunes from Jaikoz Files and many other improvements.

- New Features

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, thanks to George Antonopoulos.

- New Features OSX and Windows

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.

- Enhancements

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:\Users\paul\Jaikoz 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.

- Fixes

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.
