This allows Jaikoz to automatically fix most of a users song collection. Matching is first applied at album level, falling back to track level where a match at album level could not be made. Jaikoz generates acoustic fingerprints from music files using the AcoustId service, it can then look up the metadata from MusicBrainz using the AcoustId, additionally it can match based on metadata to MusicBrainz or Discogs. Jaikoz is a Java program used for editing and mass tagging music file tags.
