Damn! I was using ","s Now, I have to be on the lookout for these and replace with ";"s

Hi EmpatheticEar,

Unfortunately the "Replace String" addon doesn't work for Genre BUT there is the "x; y" Split Multi-Value Fields addon. You might want to try this.

My preference is the use the Entire Library / Genres node. I scroll down to the offending node e.g. "Accoustic, Fok, Rox" and
select then use F2 to edit / correct to "Acoustic; Folk; Rock". Whilst nothing appears to happen, just collapse the Genres node and expand - all done.

Hope this helps.

Freedb is no longer maintained, like MusicBrainz it also was a hit & miss when it comes to Genre.

The replacement thing always has risks. What we need is a "Genre Tagger". I could swear that FreeDB tagged Genre{s}? Is it possible to use it w/o more trouble than it's worth?

The split character used is a setting: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHelp:Settings_Fields/5.0

However setting it to comma, may have unintended consequences.

You'll need to replace , with ; to make it a multi-genre. You may want to paste in Notepad first, replace the comma's then past in MediaMonkey.

Create an MS Word file in which to store all of your genre entries.

Absolutely. I tried to cut and paste the Genre tag from Wikipedia. But, for some reason with multiple tags I had difficulty just doing a simple copy there and paste into MM5. Maybe you know a way to copy a "bunch" of genre tags from Wikipedia?

Wow! I had no idea is that was difficult to fill in the Genre tag? Is must be more difficult than other tags?

MusicBrainz is the only integrated options. Addons could provide other sources, but none exist yet for tags like Genre: https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/browse/mediamonkey-5/management-1/metadata-lookup-1/

It depends on MusicBrainz having this information. With Genre it's sometimes lacking unfortunately.

Auto-tag uses MusicBrainz as well as in CD rips, etc?
EDIT: What other choices are there in MM5? I tried Discogs in Foobar and for some reason it either could not find the album and/or did not have the tags?
EDIT2: I am rusty. Discogs only works on CD rips?

My example is Harry Styles, "Harry's House", 2022, CD rip. I have noticed other tags being filled during a rip. But, genre is not filled. And, when I tried auto-tag, it did not seem to find the genre for this CD either?
