Hi,

i have a few unsorted playlist-folders with various artists/albums in my music library and the Genre tags are missing. Is there a way to AUTOMATICALLY read the existing title, abum and artist tags, input them into Discogs (or some other database), recieve Genre and Style tags and put them into the Genre-tag of the file?

Doing this for thousands of songs manually is just not feasable.

Thank you for your help 🙂

No.  
The webs sources work album based for one (user-selected) album at a time.

For example:  
Which `GENRE` would you expect to be selected automatically for the song  
_The Name Of The Game_ on the ABBA album "[The Album](https://www.discogs.com/master/25721-ABBA-The-Album)" from 1977 on Discogs:
