Ability to edit Rubbish in Info-Panel (Album) [#19692]

[Timo_Beil]

How can I convince MM to show the correct genre from db and tags in the info panel instead of some nonsense from the web?

[Lowlander]

The Info Panel shows information from the Internet, instead of the local tags. Genres can't be edited in the Info Panel.

No!
The Info Panel -My Library- shows:

• the Album Artist from local tag,
• the Album name from local tag,
• the Cover from local tag (not always),
• the Date from local tag
• the Rating from local tag
• the number of local tracks
• the playing duration of local tracks

so of course it is understandable that the genre is taken from the web.
If this is the intended behavior, I would like to propose a feature request to change it.

+1 for this. I don't see any reason to meticulously tag all my tracks, if those local tags then are not preferred in any view and any meaning. I woudn't care, if MMW fills missing info from web sources, but anything thats in my tag: it is there for a reason.

Yes, he is incorrect.
If you alter the album notes data there (from wikipedia), using the Edit Notes item in the three-dot menu, it saves the changed text into the database, and from that point onwards it will display your own local information, and ignore the Internet.

+1 from me also. The current behaviour in the "My Library" tab, has always irritated me also.
I would not mind if they displayed the Internet genre data if I toggled across to the Online tab.

Thanks for this hint!
I'd never tried this feature.... Is it "Edit comment"?
It's a pity that this only works if there is already an entry on wikipedia. If the album is unknown on wikipedia, I am not allowed to write a comment in my db myself.

Yeah, I gave the wrong name. Thanks for correction.

Agreed. I did report this. It is tracked here.
