Batch for library

#1

I have Jaikoz for a while now but the feature that I really miss the most, the one that will make me say ‘Wow’ and use it much more often is to be able to apply the AutoCorrect to a folder that has any number of musics (10K, 20K, 100K whatever is the number of songs).

Without this feature this is almost not useful to me as I need to spend so much time dividing the folders into jaikoz manageable chunks and this is too painful and so I did it 2 times in the past and now realize I haven’t been using jaikoz for few months because it can’t handle huge libraries of musics.

So please add this feature and I’m sure many will really appreciate it.

Technically, I can see few ways of doing this, a) filtering more at the database level, (do not put so much information in memory), OR b) handle in jaikoz the libraries by chunk so basically you can do 1 pass for each smaller chunk and then some pass for just merging the different chunks that have been processed.
For the ui, you can display the data in the table by chunk also, for instance only the first 100 one from the database and then a button to see the next (and previous) 100 one etc…of course ordering by title should send the order in the sql and redisplay the new 100 etc… I hope this help

Thanks a lot for your help

Yes this a well known issue for those of you with large collections which has been discussed a number of times.

The aim is to solve this problem by the end of 2010, but it is a tricky nut to crack. In the meantime if you have a powerful computer you can negate this problem by increasing the memory allocated to Jaikoz, this can be done more effectively when using Java 64bit

Cool - thanks Paul. This feature will be so helpful.

Side note: I run Jaikoz from my WHS (Windows Home Server) on my music lib. So this is a small computer still running a 32 bits OS. I guess I should upgrade to WHS Vail (WHS 2)

If you have 32bit os you can incerase up to 1300MB ( around ) I think its ok. Try it

Hi Paul, I was wondering what is the status concerning this feature? I believe you mention you will work on it

Thanks

Unfortunately the work i did on rewriting the AutoCOrrect From Musicbrainz and various other new features and bugs have taken considerably longer than I envisaged.

But I pledge that this will be done (and this isnt a Nick Clegg style pledge)

I don’t have any problems to load 100000 songs into Jaikoz and let Autocorrect run on them.
The only disatvantage is: it takes a very long time for loading and it takes a long time for Autocorrect too.
It generally works on Win 64 with 8GB of Memory installed.
But it makes no sense to use this big chunk of songs to Autocorrect with [color=blue]Correct Metadata form MusicBrainz[/color] (maybe only if Autocorrector contains only [color=blue]Correct Lyrics[/color] or some art of [color=blue]Local Correct[/color]). Because you have to look at your songs, if they are correct tagged. Jaikoz including MusicBrainz can’t do this job a 100% only about 80% maybe.
I only use this amount of loaded songs to find dublicates in my collection.
