I think it should be said that while there are many genre names in your ID3-tag editor box that accurately describe corresponding MP3s, there is one that is missing:

POP METAL

This is in reference to the many thousands of mainstream eighties songs with the softened drum beats, bells, chimes, backed by sickening attempts at electric guitar 'riffs'- you know what I mean. It's the stuff of Poison, 1983's KISS, etc. Yet the closest match I can come to when categorizing thse songs now is "Rock." This stuff was not real rock, nor real metal, and there should be a genre available in your ID3-tag editor box that allows for a distinction between Pop Metal and the real thing.

Thanks.
