Advanced Genre Replacement

Turns out they are both from Spotify not Qobuz but of course I can't change their album names either way.

EDIT. The 2018 version is "Re-recorded"

The 2018 version doesn't seem to be available in the UK. There is a 2005 remaster but no re-recording.

And I thought it was just me who ripped the Daily/Sunday Mail freebies.

Yep. And, while I subscribed, all the Uncut cover CDs!

I'm definitely in UK. They must have removed it but I can confirm it still plays - you may be able to get it via - spotify:album:1WDSGnh9jePxR6MSSrQJY7

That is weird. I can find it using that Spotify link but not by search.

@Micheal

I think you may have missed my post above so I am repeating a couple of issues I have found with Advanced Genre Replacement.

1) It is very easy to accidentally put a piece of whitespace when pasting into multiple entries e.g. "Rock " which creates an additional genre - easy to correct when spotted.

2) When you have 2 identically named albums from an Online source(s) the genre doesn't get written correctly e.g. below which is not possible to correct and ends up with a weirdly named genre



In normal use you'd just change one of the album names - in this case one of the two is a (Remixes) version but Qobuz doesn't differentitate by name.

This is probably an edge case but thought you would wish to at least know.

I also have a question arising from the fact I have 3 instances of LMS all using the same library of files and all with OMLI enabled. Is there any means of copying the genre replacement from one instance to another? Is it just one new table in the database that could conceivably be exported from one instance and imported to another?

Good catch! I've committed a change to 8.3 which would hopefully address
both these issues. In the second case it won't be possible to have
different genres for identical artist/album tuples. If you enter
different genres you'll get random results. You've been warned! :-)

Many thanks

Probably won't matter in the vast majority of cases but I knew to use the normal default multi tag separator here viz "Electronic; Jazz" but there is no note to tell you to do so if you want to multi tag - someone might put "Electronic\\Jazz" which I suspect would come out as just that if the separator is at default.
