If a folder has a folder.jpg in the folder then this is displayed as the folder image. It now shows all songs processed, not only the modified songs. The Song Changes section has now been renamed, and instead of showing a single tree it now uses tiles to let you browse by folder in a similar way to Browse by Artist/Album.
Reports Song Changes section revamped as Browse By Folder This new section of the report mirrors the kind of view you would expect to see in many music players and control points and should make it easier to manage your music. We show artist and album artwork if SongKong has it, and also add badges indicating how many songs exist for this metadata and how many change. This shows all songs processed by Fix Songs, not only the songs that SongKong actually modified. This group the songs by the album artist and album metadata and lets you browse the songs in this grouping. In this new release we have introduced a new section called Browse by Artist/Album. Songkong 6.3 Psychocandy is now available.
It has been thoroughly tested upon a Synology DiskStation 218+, and full installation instructions are available here If you are a QNAP user then we expect to have it working for QNAP very soon. It can be fully controlled via a web-browser making it totally suitable for use on a Synology Disk Station.
It also provides manual editing and a completeness report totally free, and the automated matching can be run in preview mode so you can see the exact results. SongKong provides automatic song identification for your music, identifying songs, adding metadata and artwork, and also deletion of duplicate songs. Its focus is automatic matching of your music via AcoustId/MusicBrainz/Discogs, it can then add very detailed (Roon level) metadata and artwork. If you are not aware of SongKong but are aware of Bliss then you could consider SongKong to be similar type of software, although in many ways it is very different.
In future versions of Jaikoz I'm going to add the ability to create and store custom javascript functions with a name to make this even easier, but hopefully in the meantime the use of functions should make creating masks simpler.Hi, we are excited to announce that SongKong is now available for any Synology Disk Station that supports Docker (i.e Intel based). Ifnotempty2(albumartist,artist,' - ') + ifnotempty(album,' - ') + + (disctotal>1 ? discno + folderseperator : '') But some legacy applications may impose short maximum lengths, or you may use SongKong with one operating system but want the files to be compatible with another.
Ifnotempty2(albumartist,artist,folderseparator) + ifnotempty(album,folderseparator) When renaming or moving files SongKong respects the file system limits set by the operating system, most notably Windows set a limit of 260 characters for the complete path. Return value1.length > 0 ? value1 + sep :value2.length > 0 ? value2 + sep:'' Return value.length > 0 ? value + sep : '' Of course if you are upgrading Jaikoz it will keep your existing mask so you will not see them so I have posted them below. In Jaikoz 3.6 we have made use of functions to provide better default masks. Ifnotempty(album,'-')+ ifnotempty(trackno,'-') + ifnotempty(title,'')Īs you can now see the complexity is put into the function once, then the resultant mask can be much more concise. Return value != undefined & value.length > 0 ? value + sep : '' However recently discovered there is nothing to stop you defining functions within your filename mask so the above can be replaced by Unfortunately as a number of you have commented the Javascript is not as easy to understand as the old syntax, I traded this for the power the Javascript notation gives us. its very fiddly and easy to make a mistake when editing. (album.length>0 ? album + '-':'') + (trackno.length>0 ? trackno + '-':'')Īlthough its fairly clear what it is doing. Then this was replaced with support for full Javascript syntax, this allows you to do pretty much anything but creating the correct mask could be long winded and error prone. Jaikoz used to have quite a simple language for the rename mask that allowed most metadata to be used in the filename but only provided simple if statements. Some applications require the filename to be in a particular format.
Although most music players depend only on the metadata within the song itself, we all have different preference of how to name our files and this helps us to keep them organized. An important aspect of tagging your songs is renaming your songs so that they match the metadata within the song.
