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.
Does anyone know the easiest simplest way to grab the genre of a file? eg
ME! (feat. Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco)
Google search for that title gives.
About
Artist: Taylor Swift
Released: 2019
Album: Lover
Featured artist: Brendon Urie
Awards: MTV Europe Music Award for Best Video, MTV Video Music Award for Best Visual Effects
Genres: Bubblegum music, Pop
Nominations: MTV Europe Music Award for Best Video, MORE
These two - Bubblegum music, Pop
Would be fine. ( I always condense genres down later, as I hate the bubblegum thing)
Similarly - [Genre](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_genre) \* [Bubblegum pop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubblegum_pop)
- [synth-pop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synth-pop)
Would work just as well.
Is there a quick easy way like that to pull genre in?

I don't know what is easy for you.
Here is a thread that ourlines the basic procedure:

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.
