So I can use Musicbranz picard, select the album and get genre.

However I can't seem to find a simple way of just getting genre into a field.

I know genre is subjective and can be wrong, but at the moment a genre is better than no genre.

• synth-pop

Would work just as well.

Is there a quick easy way like that to pull genre in?

What I'm Looking For Is To Import The Genre Only For Multiple Tracks That Have Multi…

Awesome, thanks, I didn't spot that in the search.

So it looks like there is a script that pulls the genre from discogs, which is great.

Do I save that as an inc file the same as the Stevehero beatport scripts? and then save in tag sources?

Cheers.

As I wasn't sure what they were, was difficult to search for.
