    Genres

    When I look at the songs in my windows library (mediaplayer) I have different genres that in my sqyeezebox. How can I repair this. I want squeezebox to have the exact same genres as in windows media player. How to deal with this?

    Genre info is stored in the tags. Use a program like mp3tag to fix the tags.

      Yes, I tried that but found out that in MP3Tag, my own genres were correct. In the meantime I also tried Itunes to correct some genres, as Itunes also sometimes has a way of its own in thie I experienced but that didn't solve the issue either. Now what? I know some other users I know have the same issue, but don't bother as they do not have a large collection. Looks like a bug to me.

        You have to make the tags match. Are these MP3 files? flac? aac?
        Some formats store multiple versions of tags, which confuses
        SqueezeCenter. There is a whole section of this forum about ripping and
        tagging, the experts on the topic hang out there.

        Over time, I've decided that genres are not very useful.
