I envision using the Styles field as a sub Genre, to be able to filter out all of my Bebop tracks (Genre) to just those featuring Trombone (Style). It seems to be pretty universal in playback software. I have always used just one Genre tag and tried to keep those in check to aid in playback across all the ways we can consume our tune now. I know in the end it is just personal choice but think it offers some utility for a more fine grained categorization from a single Genre. That in itself could lead to an interesting discussion. I just ran into this thread in a search where I am reconsidering my ripping procedures, trying to refine it midstream. Gracenote will not license their database for use with any software that also references any other metadata source, as I understand it. Worse than that, sources might call all of it "world" which negates the use of the tag altogether.Īlso dBpoweramp does not use Gracenote, it uses several other metadata sources. If I depended on the popular databases for my genre tags, 90 percent would be tagged "reggae" which most of it isn't, it is soca or calypso, and if you study the history of Caribbean music, you'll understand the difference. And actually I've changed my outlook towards genres several times over the years, and might consider yet a different model if more players supported style. If people can't even decide on their own what genre to call a song, there is no hope for a program to tag the way YOU want your genres tagged. How much, if at all to use the style tag. Whether to microdivide genre or use a few broad categories. Just browse through some of the threads here on the subject.
