Tags
Some properties are stored in collection and in the music files itself (as ID3 tags for instance) at the same time. These properties are: genre, artist, album, track name, year, comment and track #.
If you change tags via another application, use "Perform a deep tag scan" option and launch a device refresh to take them into account in Jajuk (see
view preferences
).
Note that tags are stored in Unicode (UTF-16LE) in files. This encoding is compatible with all players (Windows Media Player or Winamp for instance) and allows Asian people to correctly edit tags using Jajuk.
Get tags online
Jajuk enables to change all tracks for an album using CDDB music online databases (like freedb). To use it, select "Get tag online" function on a directory node in Physical Files Tree view in contextual menu.
