AmpliFIND actaully has other basic data such as artist and song title so we should use this if our song doesn't contain the info, this might be enough to do a metadata match against Musicbrainz. When matching from AmpliFIND we only take the Acoustic Id, trouble is that if that Acoustic Id is not known to Musicbrainz and your song has no other metadata we cant get a match. I'm also going to look again at customizable shortcut keys and toolbars. It will be easy to work on all songs in the edit view by use of Cmd-A/Cntl-A or newly added Select All option. Because the resulting shortcut keys will require less keys, and there will be less shortcuts to remember I think this is an improvement. My feeling is that I'm going to simplify shortcut keys so that they always only work on the selected items, whereas currently there is one combination to apply to the selected item and another to apply to all visible in the window. There has been a long running debate on shortcut keys. Manual Tag from Musicbrainz is due an overhaul and I'm expecting to replace this with a more album orientated one. Jaikoz in the dock or toolbar doesn't react to having files dropped on it, but this is now possible to do. SongKong works on both Mac and PC and costs 40 when bought with a Melco device. Windows users have not been been able to update iTunes using Java 64bit because of a problem with the Java COM library I use but I have found an alternative so I will rewrite the Windows iTunes support to use this instead. Itunes is still the way the majority of users play their music so I'm going to make some further improvements to the iTunes integration to better handle when iTunes is set to copy and re-organise your music files. This is another way to really help improve the Musicbrainz Community Database and continue to provide a via alternative to closed databases such as Gracenotes. this will open up a Musicbrainz webpage with everything filled in, so you just have to check the info,add in anything extra you know and okay it. So within Jaikoz you'll be able to select a group of songs and select 'Add to Musicbrainz'. Musicbrainz NGS is a massive Musicbrainz release so I think it fitting that Jaikoz gets a major release number to reflect this.Īlso Musicbrainz NGS provides an way to semi-automatically add new releases. I'm hopeful that the long delayed Musicbrainz NGS will be released soon, and if that is the case Jaikoz will be updated to use the much improved webservice to give better and faster results. album, composer, but retain the option of selecting individual works through the "Work" tab.With 3.9.0 out the door its time to think about the next release. So ideally what I would like is to retain the option of playing the whole album, through selection using any of the tabs e.g. I have experimented with one album by removing the Minimserver Group entries for each song, which re-instates the complete album option but then does not enable me to play each "work" from that album, it only lists the separate songs (tracks) for the work from that album. I believe this has been caused by my duplicating the songs (tracks) in Work and Minimserver Group on SongKong? It is useful for albums that contain many short works to be able to play the whole album rather than having to open and play each Work (track(s)) separately. In auto and manually editing albums in SongKong I have found that whilst the separate Works are correctly displayed under "Work" on my Naim App/iPad control point and sorted by Composer now, I have lost the display of the whole album (all works in that album) which previously were displayed in for example, "Albums" and in "Complete Album" in the Work tab. However, in working through this I have an issue which I'll explain below for which Paul suggested I use the Minimserver forum. Firstly, I give an example of the difference, if Im on tab1 with checkboxes 1-9 I set change checkbox1 to true, then I go to tab2 with checkboxes 10-19, I chnage the value of some of these checkboxes, realize my mistake and click on reset to go back to the starting value. Simon, I've been exchanging posts with Paul Taylor on the SongKong forum regarding trying to accurately format my albums by adding Composer to Work.
