And I want to create a list within this of genres etc

It is not clear to me what you would like the list to look like.  
Could you give examples, please?

Here is a HowTo about user-defined genres and lists that show only the user-defined entries:

> [@Add custom user-defined Genres](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/add-custom-user-defined-genres/61122):
>
> Add and Edit user-defined Genres via Custom List Values Every field on the Tag Panel can have custom values added to its drop-down list. These can be customized via [Options → Tag Panel](https://docs.mp3tag.de/customization/tag-panel/) and the Genre field is no exception. You can use Options → Tag Panel → Genre → Custom list values → Manage... to edit the list of custom Genres and also hide the standard genres, if you prefer your own. The following screenshot exemplifies the process: Import and Export of Custom Lis…

Is that what you need?

Yes.

You can use the Manage-Button ([#4](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/add-custom-user-defined-genres/61122)) for your custom list values

for every Tag Panel field:

> [@Add custom user-defined Genres](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/add-custom-user-defined-genres/61122/1):

(I don't see what would be the advantage of custom list values for fields like TRACK or UNSYNCEDLYRICS for example. But technically, it is possible).
