Hi, Before I start a lengthy job of checking and updating my entire collection I thought it would be best to ask what do you guys do to make the most of the Genre tag?
Keep it simple or complex? Develop your own classification or use official ones? I was hoping to use LMS capabilities for multiple genres. I tested it and it seems to work OK using // as a seperator. My current Genre tags are just those automatically generated using dBPoweramp. I was planning on using Discogs to cross check them but I am not sure how to proceed because Discogs use Genre and Style classifications. Here are few examples: ALBUM ARTIST...ALBUM...GENRE...STYLE Aphex Twin...26 Mixes for Cash...Electronic...IDM, Experimental, Ambient Lemon Jelly...'64-'95...Electronic...Leftfield, Downtempo, Tech House Enya...A Day Without Rain...Electronic...Modern Classical, Ambient Leftfield...A Final Hit, Greatest Hits...Electronic...Techno, Downtempo, Ambient Underworld...A Hundred Days Off...Electronic...House Snow Patrol...A Hundred Million Suns...Rock...Pop Rock, Indie Rock The Genre 'Electronic' would cover most of my collection, so it will not be all that useful for music playback. Style looks to be a bit too detailed..........but maybe its worth the effort to use these instead. What do ????? Not bother with Genre at all or be anal and get it sorted??? Opinions are very welcome before I proceed further. Thanks in advance.
