Longtime Windows version user here who just moved to the Mac version.

In the Windows version, I had no trouble figuring out how to add _Baroque_ as a genre, but I can't seem to see how to do that on the Mac version. I know the feature sets are not identical…can it be done in the Mac version?

Goto Settings (shortcut: command + comma) then General - under Genres - Use Custom Genres - Manage and add there

Thanks much. Don’t know how I missed that.

What does “collect input” do?

Good Question. I have no idea, sorry

Edit: Found it

> [@Preferences and Configuration](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/preferences-and-configuration/56296/1):

> _ **Use custom genres** _ If enabled, Mp3tag lists custom genres that can be added via the _ **Manage…** _ window. There, you can add additional genres and advice Mp3tag to automatically remember genres entered on the Tag Pane by enabling _ **Collect input** _.

In here:

> [@Preferences and Configuration](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/preferences-and-configuration/56296):
>

None starts with an empty File List. Previous starts with the folder which was loaded the last time you’ve used Mp3tag. Other… lets you choose a explicit folder that is loaded on startup. Genres Use standard genres If enabled, Mp3tag lists the standard genres in the genre field on the Tag Pane…
