I apologize in advance if I missed how to make this work. I read through the entire thread and have tried several different iterations and could not accomplish a simple transform of values.

I am doing this in a test environment where I only loaded a handful of Depeche Mode tracks into a brand new install... so nothing has been added to the database previously other than the testing tracks to work out my configuration for Genre Finder. I have 3 full Depeche Mode albums fully tagged (except Genre) added to Media Monkey. Two albums are all FLAC files, one is all MP3 files. These are the only tracks in the database. -- Latest version of MediaMonkey GOLD. -- New Genre Finder install. --No existing Genre values in database.

Here is the simple example:

I select all the tracks from Depeche Mode (all 3 full albums) and limit Genre Finder to the top 5 genre results - which returns the following:

Electronic
New Wave
80s
Synthpop
Synth Pop

PERFECT! ... except I want to use the genre "Synth-Pop". -- How do I transform "Synthpop" & "Synth Pop" into "Synth-Pop"?

I have gone through a formal testing of every iteration I could come up with using each list type (NONE, KEEP, WHITE, BLACK). I tried simple "Synthpop=Synth-Pop" as well as "+". I read through the entire forum thread for Genre Finder.

The script is working but I can't figure out the logic of how configure for transforming the two values into "Synth-Pop" while also keeping the other 3 values... and without putting those values in the white list before running the script. (It works fine if I populate the white list first.)

The issue is I don't want to pre-populate the white list. I welcome possible new Genre values I may not consider in advance and don't want to prevent those values from being available because I did not put them in the white list. I just want to add rules to clean up messy or overlapping looked up Genre values.

Is there an approach where you just transform looked up Genre values without having to populate a white list?

Regardless of this issue... this script is awesome. Been using MediaMonkey since late 90's (GOLD of course) and I have pretty extensive customizations, scripts... etc. I can't believe how fast it runs and how much is provided for customization. GREAT JOB!!!

Hopefully I just missed the logic needed to transform looked up values without specifying genre values in advance in a white list.

Any help is appreciated.

I did not see any comment section that says "Edit this line for whitelist." Also I read page "12" of this thread and it would be helpful if there was an actual line of code example showing how the whitelist/blacklist is to be written in the code.

I've done programming before and there is a steep learning curve for this script mostly due to documentation issues.

The script is a great idea, and clearly they have put a lot of time into it, but it could definitely use a refresh. Especially since databases other than lastfm are out there. It'd be nice if this could compare across disclog, musicbrainz, and lastfm and choose the consensus instead of just the one.

I got a genre of "Deadpool" for one of my tracks. I'm pretty sure Deadpool is not a genre.

Anywho.... very nice script but it needs some polish. I wish I was better at vbs. Many of the autotaggers out there want you to update ALL TAGS, whereas, I just need the genre. Everything is good. (mostly) AcousticID is next, but again can't just do one tag without affecting the others.

Any MM add-ons that calculate the AcousticID of a track and update it? I haven't seen any. Is MusicIP even still used? Too many questions, I know.

Whitelist/Blacklist - how?

Thanks.
