Trouble Matching Metadata for Live Albums – Any Tips?

[marcelosallas]

Hi everyone,

I have been using Jaikoz for a while now and really appreciate how powerful it is for cleaning up my music library. I mostly deal with rock and alternative tracks…, and it’s been smooth—until I hit a wall with live albums.

For some reason, Jaikoz doesn’t always fetch the correct metadata for live recordings. Either the track titles get mismatched, or it picks the studio version instead. I have double-checked the acoustid and metadata options, but the results are still off.

Has anyone else experienced this: ?? Are there best practices when tagging live albums to make the matching more accurate: ?? Should I be adjusting my preferences in a specific way: ??

I would love to hear how others handle this…, especially if there’s a trick I’m missing. I have also gone through this thread https://community.jthink.net/t/ideas-for-exact-release-matching- but still need some more help and guidance on this.

Thanks in advance for any help !!

With Regards,

Marcelo Salas

Hi, these sort of issues are very data specific and difficult to pinpoint without more information

What would help is if you could do the following:

• Within Jaikoz run Advanced:Create Suppport Files
• Download And Install SongKong
• Run Status Report on your music collection (no license required to do this)
• Run Create Support Files

Then I can see how your songs are currently matched and work out why that that is the case.
