Mixed feelings about SongKong. It is a luxury product oriented towards maniacs of order, at least in what their music database refers. Those who aren't, it is supposed that can live with less tagging, or no tagging at all. The software does it's job almost perfectly, specially on files that are VERY poorly tagged. On those already tagged "at taste" (classical music and so), is tricky to add just the tags you would like. It is very easy to replace everything in your file, what you need and what you don't... Overall i have to say that it helps a lot, but.. for almost 50€, i would have expected some combination between SongKong and Jaikoz, with a little bit more flexibility... One product's strenght is the other's limitation, but thinking about paying 80 GBP for having both is not an option, sorry.
UPDATE: One week later, have to say that the experience improved. Still, i can't consider it THE software that "makes it all", i still need some workarounds after SongKong does it's magic to update some info, even from Musikbrainz or Discogs, wich are supposed to be the main source of tagging for SongKong.

Hi Corneliu have you checked out the Only Modifiy these fields if Empty option, we have this for all matches, but also just for classical albums if you want to treat classical albums differently and don't want some existing tags updated. SongKong and Jaikoz are different products and have different advantages/disadavantages but we should offer an easy way to buy both together as a discounted bundle.

Hi Yoann, various artists albums are more difficult but I have never had complaint about alternative artists before, dont forget you can run in preview mode and you can also undo changes for any folder(s) if you don;t like them. Could you please run Create Support Files then I can help you in more detail.

Hi, what OS are you using I am not aware of an issue with the pdf help file, the wizard only allows you to configure updating iTunes so I would not concern yourself with that.

I decided to try SongKong to correct the metadata tagging of the altered album cover artwork I had. When I ran the software, in less than 30 seconds it correctly inserted ALL the correct album artwork for each song, as well as the Artist’s Name, Genre and the Album Name in iTunes. Totally amazing.

Need some time to understand all options and to get used to it but all WAV files downloaded from Qobuz fixed with very good results for Melco in combination with minimserver. For me all report functions not really useful…..(is it not possible to make Songkong a standard piece of program in Melco software, fully automatic??)

Hi Jurgen, expect SongKong to become a standard install on Melco hardware soon.

Ive only given SongKong a score of three, not so much because of the application, which seems to work fin, but the lack of clear advice for new buyers. The support service has been helpful. But a basic booklet that says these are the thing you need to check before starting, if you want to active these things then you need to set Songkong as follows. Something like this would have saved me a great deal of time (for example why is my current clean up splitting up my albums into copies of a few track each?

Hi Colin we have tutorials at http://www.jthink.net/songkong/tutorial.jsp I have emailed you separately but the problem with copies is due to your iTunes configuration I think you are adding form iTunes lib into another, you can definitely prevent iTunes making copies by disabling the iTunes options Preferences:Advanced:Copy files to iTunes Media Folder when adding to Library

Yes it has a steep learning curve, the interface is not modern by todays standards but there is one thing that separates if from all the others I have tried. It works. I have over 25000 songs, not alot by some standards but it is a legacy collection stretching back to the 80s. If you have used iTunes (singularly the worst media player ever conceived) then you know the kind of chaos it wreaks to the point of almost uselessness.
Jaikoz fixed over 95 percent in less than one afternoon and a couple passes. That says it all.
