How may I edit the list of genres presented e.g. in the tag panel drop-down combo box? Thanks. ---

404 Error on the link. Couldn't find it otherwise. Really would like to merge my Audacity genre list, which I can edit with my MP3tag list that I can't directly edit. ---

Yes, I saw that, but since the tags are defaulted to ID3v2.3, I thought that was fixed, so in most of my files only use that option. Do I have to rid of those files still using ID3v1? I was also looking for the text-based file that generates it. Thanks. ---

> [@DamanGoldBerg](#): > > Do I have to rid of those files still using ID3v1? As ID3V1 does not use the text but a defined number (id) set by the standard, all non-standard genres are mapped to "other". If you can live with that then you do not have to remove the ID3V1 tags. > [@DamanGoldBerg](#): > > I was also looking for the text-based file that generates it. You find a file "genres.ini" in the data folder. ---
