Please help a basic user, want to add artwork and lyrics - how

[MrMrMr]

I have purchased Jaikoz which is a great program. I only use a few basic functions though on it.

However I now want to add artwork and lyrics as other widgets I use aren’t working for my on Mac OS X Lion v10.7 now.

Can someone please describe in simple steps how to add artwork and lyrics to songs (MP3s) I have.

I use iTunes on a iMac, OS X Lion. I;ve tried to read the online manual but get a little lost I’m afraid.

cheers

Thesres a few ways. All below assumes you have the files loaded.

Lyrics:
-If it isn’t visible in the Edit window, got to the little chart-with-a-down-arrow at the right and make sure lyrics is checked.
-You can manually enter (copy/paste) into this field. Similarly, you can use the bigger form under the Lyrics tab at the bottom.
-To auto-lyric, on the main menu (similar on the context menu) Action>Remote Correct>Lyrics.

Artwork:

• You can drag an image straight from a browser right to the individual field.
• Highlight the entire album and drag to the bottom, under the tabs where there’s probably a white square for artwork now.
• Use the artwork tab at the bottom and manually browse for art files.

Both of these can be used in the autocorrector to be done automatically. Artwork is inside “Correct metadata from MusicBrainz” (and should be there by default).

Thanks for your reply, I was doing it correct then. When I do this it finds no matches for lyrics. This is even off a song that is popular (Album is Now 79). It finds no matches for the whole album.

any idea why?

You mean it can’t find a match for any song in the album?

I find Jaikoz isn’t the most thorough with lyrics. I let Jaikoz look for them, but then I use a program called Tagrunner by Audials and it usually picks up a lot more. Unfortunately it’s no longer for sale, but can still be “obtained”.

I think Jaikoz is just lacking in the number of sources that it queries.
