Is there anyway to force jaikoz to correct from musicbrainz by acoustic id only? I have a bunch of songs that have no meta data except acoustic id, and the autocorrector goes through like 11 different steps, when i just really need it to use the acoustic id to match.
Acoustic ID only
It’s hard to advise without your structure details and file count. AFAIK, There is no “turn off everything but AID” setting. Jaikoz uses whatever’s available and turning things off will only limit the returned results.
If you have NO meta, I would suggest you enable the “filename” column and copy the entire column to the ‘Title’ column, .mp3 and all. If it’s just a couple artists, I would fill those in too, to the ‘Artist’ and ‘Album Artist’ columns. If it’s a ton of different artists or too many to figure out then leave them blank. Then try the AC and see what you get.
As dkoh says if the filename has useful information then copy that to the relavent metadata fields, you can use Edit/Append to Right to copy a field in one column to the next column in the corresponding rows. Alternatively you can configure Correct Metadata from Filename and use that. But if the filename metadata is incorrect it is better to not copy it into the metadata as this can confuse Jaikoz.
Just run Correct Metadata from MusicBrainz, this will realize there is no metasdata and retrieve acoustids in order to get a match. You may get slightly better results if you run Retrieve Acoustids on all your songs first.
