What about using soundex or something similar to find the "right" genre
and fall back to a default one if there's no genre which sounds
similar? This isn't something we can provide with very few code in lame,
but AFAIK there's a perl module which implements soundex...

What about wrapping libmp3lame into a perl module (like I did with
python)? This would make your program much more flexible.

I don't know much perl (I can distinguish it from other languages), but
what about somethin like "system($command_line_with_user_genre) or
system($command_line_with_default_genre) or die;"?
