Additionally Jaikoz matching algorithm compares the metadata files to each other, and performs an analysis on the sameness of values. If sufficiently similar, the values are changed to the most popular value. This mechanism allows automatic correction of typos. For example, if there were fifty records with the artist name "The Beatles" and ten with the artist name "The Beetles," the sameness of the two values would indicate they were the same and all values would be modified to the most popular (the correct) value "The Beatles".

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] . Jaikoz uses a relatively unusual spreadsheet metaphor for both viewing and editing data, and allows editing of over fifty fields [3] using this spreadsheet interface.

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 Metabrainz to support Musicbrainz development
