Jaikoz is a Java program used for editing and mass tagging music file tags. Jaikoz generates acoustic fingerprints (MusicIP's MusicDNS PUIDs) of your files and lookups the Puid and the existing metadata from the MusicBrainz service. Potential matches are scored according to an algorithm[1] and if the highest score is greater than the user determined threshold the track is selected. This allows Jaikoz to automatically fix most of a users song collection.[2][3] Jaikoz uses a relatively unusual spreadsheet metaphor for both viewing and editing data, and allows editing of over fifty fields[4] using this spreadsheet interface, the underlying jaudiotagger tag library is released under LGPL and is used by various Java applications.[5]
Jaikoz is commercially licensed software, written in Java 1.5 by Paul Taylor. A shareware version, in which changes can only be saved to 20 files during one use, is also available as a 30-day free trial. 10% of every sale is paid to the MetaBrainz Foundation to support MusicBrainz development.

[edit] Reviews and awards
Jaikoz has been favorably received worldwide. Jaikoz version 1.1.3 was distributed by Macworld Italy magazine with its Spring, 2006 supplement "Everything iPod".[6] Version 2.5 was favorably reviewed in 2008 by Thomas Weiss, senior editor of Macnews Germany.[7] Macworld Germany editor Matthias Zehden concurred in his 2009 iPhoneWelt review of Jaikoz.[8]
[edit] Academic notice
In 2006, Julien Chaveau of the University of Angers cited Jaikoz as an exemplar of an automated information extraction system,[9] and in 2008 Badawia Albassuny of King Abdulaziz University included Jaikoz in his survey of automatic metadata generators for its ability to generate metadata by analyzing content.[10]
