mp3tag can nearly do this, with a little care you can get what you want, though its a bit more manual than you are probably looking for. 1. In mp3tag, open the "quiet" directory of your music folder. It will bring all the files therein into play (it will take a little while, its going to read all the tags!) 2. Sort by genre (click the head of the genre column) 3. Select all the files for the first genre in your list (lets say its "Rock") 4. On the left hand pane, type Rock;Quiet into the genre field, and save. 5. Repeat for other genres. Having said all that, I can't help thinking that a program to do what you want shouldn't be too hard - all it needs to be able to do is find the tag and rewrite it. What format are you using?
