Downloads from GPM: downloaded tags are wrong, and are inconsistent with Devices&Services>GPM>AllTracks display
Filter Devices&Services>GPM>AllTracks to show tracks that I only have only in my GPM library ... ie. they are not in MM, and I don't have the tracks either.
In Devices&Services>GPM>AllTracks you show me that GPM has AlbumArtist, Composer & track# tags for these tracks.

Use MM to download the tracks.
The downloaded mp3 file has lost the tags

The tracks has been inserted into the MM db, but it has lost tags there also

Also the tagging situation seems variable for downloads ... I downloaded this album twice, and got different results
once I got track # for only 1 mp3 track ... and that track had all tags in the downloaded mp3, and all tags were inserted to mm

The other time I downloaded the album I got no tags at all

Default download location at Tools|Options|Downloads
The default for this config item contains the suffix "<Artist>\<Album>\<Title>" ... this is useful as it auto-organises any downloads
There is a browse button to set a custom location ... if this is used the suffix is not retained. ... and the tool tip does not document the existence of suffix facility, nor its syntax.
So if someone customises to a tailor location they can easily accidentally lose the auto-organisation of downloads, and there is no clue showing how to reset it.
Also why is <albumartist> not accepted in the suffix? ... This causes a problem ... If an album has some tracks by an artist who is different to the albumartist (ie. this often happens in soundtracks; the main soundtrack is written by a composer, but some tracks feature some other artist) ... in this case there is a separate artist/album path for the main composer, and one for each of the feature artists ... and in the case of an entirely mixed artist album, the whole album is split into separate folders.
(funnel) Filters
Add a "Genre equals" filter ... then follow the advice, ie. "click to set" ... it takes three separate clicks to get the selection list, the 1st two clicks seem to be consumed by some invisible process ... it is likely that people will conclude that there is no drop down selection list
Also you cannot delete the last filter criteria, nb: I mean "delete", not "disable" ... where there are multiple filters (ie. Genre=Jazz and Track#<5), you can delete any specific filter criteria line with the "-" on the rhs ... but you cannot delete the last remaining criteria line ... this action disables the criteria, and closes the filter sub-panel ... but if I click the funnel again the "deleted" criteria is restored, and reactivated
