Hello all

I'm new here, and to mp3tag, It's a great app.  
I'm looking for a way to automatically tag the genre of my tracks.  
All the basic fields are filled - album, track, artist. I've used amazon service for most of then, and it does not include the genre.  
The discogs doesn't seem to help - it never finds things; and freedb also doesn't help - I don't have the ID's for the albums.

Any suggestion?

Thanks a lot!

PS: I noticed that discogs has all my albums, but I couldn't get the service to work properly. Anyway, is there a way to tag only Genre?

Problem solved: Last.fm service did the trick!

Thanks a lot!
