More than a song title.
Restore titles, artists, albums, album artists, composer credits and their sort fields. Japanese, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese each get their own attention.
Every song.In its own words.
The songs you love, with the names they were meant to have. Bring original-language titles, artists and albums back to Apple Music.
Familiar music. Familiar names.
Illustrative examples. Actual changes depend on verified catalog evidence.

Official name kept
Your music has a language. Let it keep it.
A translated name can make a familiar song feel unfamiliar. JiBA restores the original details without flattening your collection into one language.
The right name. The right recording.
Recording identity and original language are checked separately. Official English and Latin-script names stay intact; uncertain matches remain unchanged or go to review.
A little less housekeeping.
Run on a schedule or when new music arrives. Your Mac takes care of the routine, with review and recovery tools when you need them.
Made for Music. Made for you.
A focused Mac app that works directly with your Music library. See progress, review changes and get back to listening.
Fix it on Mac. Enjoy it everywhere.
With Sync Library enabled, Apple Music can carry your updated metadata to iPhone, iPad and your other devices.

Full release historyStable

Good to know.
Will every name be changed to Japanese?
No. JiBA aims to restore each field to its true original language. Official English and Latin-script names are preserved. A matching recording alone does not prove which language a name should use.
Does JiBA run on iPhone?
JiBA runs on macOS 14 or later. With Apple Music Sync Library enabled, changes made on your Mac can sync to your other devices. Sync behavior is managed by Apple Music.
Can I review or undo changes?
JiBA includes review, change history and metadata recovery tools. When recording or language evidence is insufficient, it keeps the existing information or asks for review. See the guide for the relevant settings.
Is JiBA free?
Yes. Standard Mode is free. For Enhanced Mode, a donation of any amount unlocks JiBA's backend (it only covers running costs), or you can use your own Apple Developer key at no cost. JiBA will be open source under GPL-3.0, including all algorithms, on November 1, 2026.
Bring the names back. Keep the music playing.
