L.S.,
This new version has an interesting feature, showing artist info when selecting an artist. This really supports maintenance of my collection and provides nice-to-know info on the artists I have in my collection.
I noticed however that in several cases (I have seen a handfull or so until now, mostly classical music) the 'genre' information (top-left below the artist name) is incorrect.
I have added a very obvious example in the picture below:

This artist is definitively not making music of these genres as mentioned...
Johann Sebastian Bach (31 March [O.S. 21 March] 1685 – 28 July 1750) gets 'Electronic', 'Jazz' and 'Pop' as his genres. He was modern for his time, but this would have really surprised him .
The "Bakija Bakić Orchestra" gets 'Latin' and 'Salsa' as their genres... That is not what I hear, when I hear their music...
I checked whether the error was in the data source (i.e. musicbrainz or wikipedia (both are referred to but I do not know which artist info is collected from where)) but could not see these wrong genres mentioned in these sources. So I assume there is some other way these genres are collected and put in place here.
Best regards,
Alexander
