The genre mapping appears to be as follows at the moment: blues --> blues classic --> classic, classical country --> country disco --> disco funk --> funk rock --> rock, heavy, hard metal --> metal, heavy hip hop --> hip-hop house --> house, chillout, minimal, hard, electronic new wave --> new-wave r-and-b --> r-and-b punk --> punk, punk rock, hardcore, heavy jazz --> jazz pop --> pop reggae --> reggae soul --> soul, gospel techno --> techno, minimal, trance, chillout, electronic, electronica other --> other, african, alternative, ambient, asian, brazilian
Having glanced through my own music collection, I have the following genres present which aren't represented: Folk, Traditional, Dance, World, Ambient, Oldies, Heavy Metal, Christmas, Latin, Celtic, Soundtrack, R&B, Rap, Rap & Hip Hop, Rock and Roll, Opera There are bound to be others (all the many, many varieties of metal, for example) that I'm missing. Many of these fit fairly nicely with the existing genre filters, so the mapping could be easily extended to add more genres in without having to add any more filter options to the lens.
