Hello everybody. Great to be here and looking forward to finally organizing my music library after years of iTunes messing it up.

I have just added my 380gb music library and I have a couple of questions about to organize/edit it. I have music that is in the same genre however over the years it has been spelt differently so I have multiple genres for the same genre (if that makes sense), for example, Drum and base, drum and base, DnB etc. Is there a way to get all these combined as one?

As well as this, can we add sub genres? For example, Different Drum and Base genres - melodic - Liquid - aggressive - Neurofunk - sample-heavy Jungle - energetic - Jump-Up?

I also have a lot of metal music that I would like to all be in a metal genre but have sub genres for thrash, power, death metal etc?

Any advise on this would be great

1. Easiest is to edit the Genre values in the Genre sub-node, this will fix the entries on your files and allow you to consolidate.

2. No, but multiple Genres is supported.

Thanks for the information, I will have to decide whether I want to use generic genre's or more specific genre's then.

Where abouts do I find where to edit the Genre values in the Genre sub-node?
