I dunno, the Crazy Cavan album was as it came posted from one of the
groups.
Genre for a lot of people is subjective. How old do you class 'Oldies'
as a genre. I treat 'type of genre' as something to categorise my
collection in my own personal filing system. If any album or track
posted has a different genre to what suits me then I alter it to fit my
personal interpretation. I have a genre in my list as 'Nostalgia'
which applies to those tracks that I remember as being a landmark at
some point in time throughout my life, but the same track could also be
easily classed as Soul or Instrumental, e.g.(Booker T & The MG's -
Green Onions)
denotes to me that the album is complete and separates it from those
which maybe incomplete due to a missing track(s) or cover image.
As long as there is an Artist - Track Title posted that is all that
matters to me as any tags can easily be added/deleted/amended. There
is really nice software out there that makes it easy to do.
Tagscanner is my favourite http://www.xdlab.ru/en/
You have just made me have a look in MediaMonkey at the different
genre's I have. There are some really odd ones :-)
Dixieland, Western, Alternative & Punk, Club. Electric Blues, Retro,
Revival, Relaxation, Surfer, to name just a few, none are of my making
so it goes to show people have different perceptions of the type of
music they think it is.
I must take time to sort those out to make them more 'logical to me',
in other words my interpretation of genre.
Don't beat yourself up about things not being perfect, enjoy what is
posted, half the fun is arranging it all to suit you own style of
cataloging. :-)
