starting to tag my collection... questions/concerns before jumping in

hello i purchased jaikoz years back, and never got to using it. but am now ready to dive in.

few questions/concerns on proper setup/prefs

right now i have 2 drives music 1, music 2. setup as folders A-Z, and then Artist/Album/then the track files.

I have many compilations, and many .Feat.

Artist/ArtistS - i’d like all songs that have 2 or more artists to show up as 2 or more SEPARATE artists in artist. Example. https://www.google.com/search?q=jayz+feat&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a notice the many diffrent title types… some have feat. in the front, some in the back, some in parenthesis. is it posible to have jaikoz auto correct and move ALL artists to artist. so that when i search for jay-z or for linkin park, that particular song will show up for BOTH artists?
right now in my jriver Library i have over 35,000 Artists… well that’s due to all these feat. i’'d like to have all my music slimlined. meaning if you goto artists there is only one time where that artist will show up.
are multiple Artists made like this Ozzy Osbourne; Lita Ford or Ozzy Osbourne, Lita Ford… my player (jriver) needs them to be Ozzy Osbourne; Lita Ford. is there a way to accomplish this when saving the tags?

Highly unlikely this is possible. but same scenario but with artists that have many bands they have been in example ozzy, ozzy osbourne, black sabbath, if its a black sabbath song, i’d like ozzy to be tagged in it as well… thoughts on this? good idea? or would it make the whole library to messy going this extreme?

Genre - is it possible to have multiple genres… how do i accomplish this?
are multiple genres made like this Rock; Pop or Rock, Pop… my player (jriver) needs them to be Rock; Pop. is there a way to accomplish this when saving the tags?

is it possible by any chance to setup a rule that states, if genre has Chris Playlist, Brandon Playlist, Adult Mix, etc… then do not delete THOSE chosen names (delete the remaining), BUT ALSO add remaing genres found? another reason i’d liek this is for soundtracks, and collections. ive went through my whole library and made up manually… collections, one hit wonders, soundtracks, relaxing, roadtrip songs, party time, etc, and it would be ashame to loose all that manual work.

sub genres or a way to make genres or moods similiar to what pandora does… it will play the same style/mood of music? how would i accomplish this?

how to save all of my 5 Stars… so they do not get over written?

how do i setup jaikoz to redownload ALL my cover art so that it’s nice and neat and all the same size and pretty for our 60" hdtv?

i read up a bit on songkong, it states it can watch a folder and auto tag it… once im done tagging with jaikoz, does jaikoz offer this feature as well? or would i need to purchase song kong?

once all files are tagged in library. how does one auto change there explorer locations, and filenames so it’s nice and neat, and the same filenaming sturcture throughout?

Any suggestions you guys can give on items i may have not mentioned that could save me from a huge disaster?

thanks for your time… i’m so ready to grab the reigns and get this started AND finished!

I have many of the same questions. Many of us have hoped for J. River to integrate Music Brainz for years.

How do we update just one field?

Example: I load songs, select only Year range and choose AutoCorrect. It runs on all tag fields.

Looking for way to just correct specific tags, or add fields that others are probably using such as, “Style”.
