Remove Unused Genres

[nynaevelan]

Bex-- I am eternally grateful!! This is exactly what I needed!

I'm also happy to see that I'm not the only one annoyed by things like this. MM definitely attracts those of us who are hopelessly and compusively an@l-retentive about our music and tags!

For the record, I had 49 unused genres, so it looks like I didn't win either!

OOOHHH do I win anything, I had 145!!! I love it that I am now able to remove all those pesky genre's that I will never use.

fyi, RC5 will automatically remove them (like Artists).

Yep

Rusty & All:

Where is this feature in RC5?? I have tested it on Tempo, Mood & Quality and they are not removed automatically from the Library Node. I also do not see an option for it on the Maintain Library menu.

It works as in MM2. Upon compacting the DB, unused Genres are removed without notice and unused classifications are left intact.

Which is what I am getting, so you see your script is still needed, at least by me.

Yes, at least if you wish to remove unused classifications or see the unused genres before you remove them.

copied to the wishlist for post 3.0 consideration.
