I couldn't agree with Snarlydwarf more. I tidied up all my tags using (mostly) MusicBrainz and some other lookup programs, but then immediately went back and redid all the Genre tags for two reasons:
1) Music classification is personal and genre tagging (IMHO) totally random. I've had each disc of a two disc album classified for genre totally differently. Also, I don't use some of the very common genre tags (Electronica for example). 2) I use multiple genre tags in Slimserver. A good interface to use to redo your genre tags is Tag & Rename (30 day free trial). Speeds the whole process up. Re: Music Magic, as far as I know it doesn't use the Genre information at all - it analyses and validates all your music using an algorithm and then matches those with similar results. If you're getting odd results, it may be worth checking your preferences and setting the "variety" options to low. Also, have you let MM analyse and validate the entire library - this can take a good while (overnight in my case) so it may be it hasn't finished reviewing everything yet ? -- Siduhe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Siduhe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21243 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
