music id greyed out

I just downloaded and install Jaikoz on an iMac. Then I bought the license. I have opened several directories and I can’t create or retrieve acoustic ids. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Is it an Intel mac, I assume it it. Unfortunately in the current release of Jaikoz the acoustic id matching does not work correctly for Intel macs and is disabled, (it does work for Power PC Macs) - this is clearly stated at the top of the details for the new release (http://www.jthink.net/jaikoz/jsp/news/start.jsp) but apologies if you didnt see this.

This really is a temporary measure due to circumstances out of my control, I have been waiting for some software to be released for Intel macs since early December by MusicIP. I always like to provide identical functionality on all platforms but the delay was getting too long and I needed to do a release for the other platforms, I am confident this problem will be fixed within the next two weeks. In the meantime your license will work with Jaikoz 1.3.1 ( (http://www.jthink.net/jaikoz/jsp/download/start.jsp, selected the Mac OSX 10.3 link) and that does acoustic matching using the older method which is not as accurate but still works well

Yes, it’s an Intel iMac. I’ll wait for the update. I’m fairly new to Macs and don’t want to mess with putting an older version of Java on it.

Thanks for letting me know it wasn’t something I was doing.

FYI you dont need to install an older version of Java, it will work as is.

Pleased to tell you that the new release of Jaikoz now supports retrieving acoustic ids on Intel macs - and perfomrnace has been improved or PPC macs, sorry for the delay
