Why does the "Type" field auto-update? (Music v Classical Music)

Post by momhencluck »

To me, Music is Music - I prefer to make my own classifications.
Yet MMW will change my classical tracks back to "Classical Music" and EXCLUDE them when I ask for "Music."
When adding new classical tracks, I physically change this to "Music" and include "Classical" simply as a Genre. Yet every time I maintain my metadata, MMW changes it back. Once I save my metadata changes, it "sticks", but how do I stop it from changing it in the first place? Is this part of the background metadata lookup (yes, I have it "fingerprinting"), which does NOT offer me a selection of "type" in the fields to update.

Yes, of course I can re-edit, but why should I need to do that?

Type is determined on first scan and not auto-changed afterwards, furthermore the Music Collection has included Classical Music by default for many versions.

You can modify the Music Collection if you initially started on an older version of MefiaMonkey to include Type = Classical Music.
