It is possible one has a trailing space.

If you created User-defined genres, and any of them is the same as a default genre, they will be duplicated in the drop-down menu.

You can show only your own list: ![user defined genres](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b2907b402c04991c29ee2923eedc2c939d5d4b7b.jpeg)

I think I'm shipping the default installation with `Audiobook` as an example for a custom genre. I'll look into it and either use a different example or remove any duplicates.

OP here. Thanks both ryerman and Florian for the helpful responses. I just checked and 'Audiobook' was listed as a user-defined genre. I've deleted it now, so there is no longer any duplication.

However, I know I never added 'Audiobook' as a user-defined genre myself, so what Florian said is likely the cause.

Have a great day.

It's fixed with [Mp3tag v3.10a](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455).
