I recently installed Jaikoz audio tagger to help manage my 35k songs. I have loaded my library and ran auto correct. It worked perfect for the MP3 files with tags that needed to be cleaned up but didnt do anything with my FLAC files that origionally had no associated tags.
Is there a way to filter so that I am only working with the FLAC files that dont have any tags? Every time I try and run an action, it ques up the entire library. Also, what is the best way to find info and tag the appropriate metadata to these flac files?
Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.
Tagging files with no previous tag
Select Filters/Filter Music Brainz Unique Ids/Musicbrainz Unique Id Does not Exist this will show only the files that haent been matched to Musicbrainz.
Jaikoz matches based on metadata and based on acoustic ids, both work on FLAC but if you have no metadata it has to match based on the Acoustic Id. Acoustic Ids listen to the actual music so I wonder if there is a problem with your FLAC encoding which is preventing this from working.
Try running Action/Remote Correct/Retrieve Acoustic Ids and see if it is able to generate acoustic ids for the file, then post the results on the forum.
I have removed most of my library and only loaded a handfull of albums without any tags or metadata and the auto-correct function worked perfect. Is there a way to filter for files that dont have any tags? Or filter for just FLAC files? I cant figure out how to accomplish this and every time i run an action it runs on every file loaded.
Also, I have tried the “Correct metadata from filename” action with no success. Is there a way to write the metadata based on the filename? Perhaps this would be a better and more efficient start?

Ive told you exaclty how to filter in the previous answer,. whats wrong with that answer. Also note that if you run over files that have already been fixed it will just skip over them unless you’ve changed the settings.
Got it… It’s just that retrieving the acoustic ID is very timeconsuming. I was wondering if there was a more efficient way as much of the data I am searching for is in the file name.
Hi,
Accoustic IDs in JAT works very well.
Search at MusicBrainz a little tool (GenPUID which work on all systems) that I use too to generate PUID in batch mode.
Hopping this could help you.
Kind Regards

To get the data out of the filename you have to tell Jaikoz the filename format in Preferences/File and Folder Correct/Correct Metadata from Filename/Rename Mask, Jaikoz used to try and work it out itself but it proove dimpossible to do it reliably.
