Hi!
I would really love to see an option to swap the genre with the style information (when importing from discogs).
As of now most of my music turns out to be electronic when I use the infos provided by discogs when the genre field is filled - but I would like to have to genre information filled with the style infos which are provided by discogs.

> Is there a way to change the Discogs tag source so that it writes Discog's STYLE field to the files GENRE tag and does not write the Discogs GENRE tag to the file at all. I find the Discogs STYLE tag much more useful and detailed so it would be great if I could have that automated instead of having to do that manually! Thanks

There is a post in the HowTos on swapping 2 fields:

> How to swap the contents of 2 tag fields? Example how to swap TITLE and ARTIST: Create a [new action](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/actions/967/2) in an existing action group or make a new action group. Action type: Guess values Source format: %title%~%artist% Guessing pattern: %artist%~%title% Note: The ~ sign is just used to separate the two fields, you could take any other sign that does not appear in your fields, e.g. ¢ or an extended unicode character like ∞ or ∑.
Please not that on the Mac this action is called "Import tag fields".
