SongKong Not Working For Me
Hi, its rare for SongKong to match the wrong song but if your album is not in the database and SongKong finds your songs in a different album it can cause a song to be linked to the wrong album and then songs from one album to be broken up into multiple albums.
You can repair the damage by loading the problem folder into SongKong and selecting Undo Changes Made to revert all the changes to those files and even rename the files back to what they were, this works even if you restart SongKong.
You can stop it happening in the first place by selecting Only allow matches if all songs in folder match to one album on the first tab.
If you send me your support files ( Help/Create Support Files ) and give me an example I can probably work out why it did a poor match in the first place.
Hi paultaylor songkong is not working for me I been trying out Jaikoz looks to work good for me better then songkong is there anyway I can trade up songkong for Jaikoz
Hi, yes we could do that but I urge you to try out SongKong 1.9 first as it has a lot of improvements.

I couldn’t find said releases for those artists in MusicBrainz, please see

so that is why they are not matching.
Hi paultaylor yeah it looks like theses album are not on musicbrainz what would you recommend me to use to be able to lookup and tag theses hard to find album that songkong can not lookup and tag for me also are you guys planning on adding in the future search support on to songkong to also use discogs and freedb database would be nice to see songkong use others then just musicbrainz
SongKong does use Discogs as well, but the matching for Discogs is not working quite as well as it could be http://jthink.net:8081/browse/SONGKONG-296
Are theses albums in Discogs ?
Hi paulyaylor no theses albums are not on discogs but would be nice to also be able to match songs from discogs hope you guys get this working soon what would you recommend me to use to be able to tag theses hard to find albums that are not on discogs and musicbrainz that songkong can not tag because of that
If they are not on Musicbrainz or Discogs I would suggest you added them to Musicbrainz yourself as its a community database that anyone can contribute to. You then have the benefit that not only can the metadata be matched by SongKong, but also your songs will contain Musicbrainz Ids so they can be used with any Musicbrainz enabled software.
Jaikoz has a task to make adding new releases from your own files easier (Action:Remote Correct:Submit New Release)
In recent SK updates unwanted folders have come back. In all 3 mask boxes in “File Naming” I show ‘no folder’.
I would once again like to be ‘folder free’…
Can you show me the contents of your no folder mask
