Jaikoz 3.2 Released on August 7th 2009

Jaikoz 3.2 now out, this major release has been designed to make Jaikoz easier to use for everyone, but especially for first time users.

Highlights are the Preferences/Musicbrainz/Match/Prefer Original Release even if better meta match to later Compilation release option has been added, in most cases Jaikoz will now match a track to the original album even if the metadata favours a compilation, this is the preference of most users but can be reversed by unchecking this option.

Now the autocorrecter fixes songs one song at a time. For example instead of running Retrieve Acoustic Ids on all songs, then Correct Tags from Musicbrainz on all songs the Autocorrecter now runs Retrieves Acoustic Id on the first song , then Correct Tags from Musicbrainz on the first song, then it starts on the second song.

This makes more sense for most people but the old behaviour is still available by unchecking Preferences/Manipulators/Autocorrecter/Fix song by song when possible.

One advantage of this change is it is better suited to multithreading, so actually the second song is processed before waiting for the first song to complete, but in a different thread. Because they could be performing a different task (Retrieve Acoustic Id versus Tag from Musicbrainz) they do not get hit by the task constraints as often (such as only one query allowed per second from Musicbrainz Server).

Please note: because some options have been removed or changes not all your preferences wil be copied over from an earlier version because most customers would benefit from using the new options.

There is a problem with this release, update coming in the next hour - please wait for 3.2.1

The new threading behaviour has made Jaikoz an order of magnitude faster on my 2007 MacBook Pro. Thanks! :slight_smile:
