Why do you need this?  Look at the entries before ripping and make the
Genre equal to the freedb genre if you like.  I find about 95% of the
data pulled from freedb to be either not quite what I'd like, or just
plain wrong.  Before ripping a CD I spend a minute or two proofreading,
correcting and adjusting the data.  It's much easier correcting it at
this stage than catching it later.  Also, if you create CUE sheets, as
I do, if you later rename a file due to an incorrect song title, you'll
have to also correct it in the CUE sheet.  Everything from artist name,
album name, year, genre, song titles and capitalization gets checked
and fixed.
