Helllo,

just tried to modify genre of a few songs.  
Selection does not offer e.g. Doom Metal

Please extend genre list.

You can specify as many Genres as you like. Create your own drop down list if you like, or just type in Genres to suit your own needs

You can also enable custom genres at "Preferences \> General".

Once you click the "Manage..." button manually add custom genres, let Mp3tag add all the genres found in the currently loaded files, and/or automatically collect Genres you're adding via the Tag Panel.
