I've got fully tagged mp3 files (tagged with mp3tag 2.34 for ID3v1, ID3v2 and APE). But as i import my libary into media monkey, the genre node shows wrong tag information.
Then i opened the properties and closed it again without editing anything and the genre changed to what it should be.
but by refreshing the libary, the genre tags rechanged.
i really don't know what to do, becaus every other player can read my tags properly (even mm shows the right tags expect for the genre).

I got the same problem since I updated to v2.4.4. In genre column of the tracklist the wrong is displayed. Euro-Techno instead of Ambient or Rap instead of Reggae for example.

When I display one of the track properties, the correct genre was shown. Also when I display genre info with another tool like mp3tag or the windows file property info.

Re: Wrong Genre Tag information
And I solved the problem: I've uninstalled MediaMonkey and deleted the MediaMonkey database and configuration files located in "c:\documents and settings\titus\my files\my music". After reinstalling MM everything goes fine. I think MM comes in trouble with its own database after switching to the next program release.Marsman wrote:

Wrong genre tags
The easiest sollution for me was simply installing the latest beta version. All genre tags show up correctly now.
Damaged database
You don't need to do a reinstall, all you need to do is close MediaMonkey and delete the MediaMonkey .mdb file. Open MediaMonkey back and it will create a new .mdb file that is compatible with the version that you are running.
