Hi. I'm looking for a function where I want to replace the genre for some tracks. For example if I have a lot of tracks with the genre House Tech and want to replace this with House Techno, where can I find this in the program? I'm looking for a function "find" and "replace all", or just "replace". Thanks. ---

Hi and welcome! You can enter "House Tech" in the _Filter_ field on the toolbar which will limit the file lists to the files that somewhere contain "House Tech" — also the files with the proper "House Techno". To have all the files with "House Tech" in one sequence, you can sort by _Genre_ via a click on the header of the Genre column (or _View → Sort by → Genre_). Then simply select all the files with "House Tech" and change the Genre via the Tag Panel on the left. Alternatively, you can use a [Quick Action](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/quick-actions-and-action-groups/51882) _Replace_ for field `GENRE` where you replace `House Tech` by `House Techno`. Make sure you have _Matches Word_ checked: ![Action-Replace-Genre](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/e/ec806b3101823838db010b970b267b98b6f8536c.png) ---

Just FYI, the actual genre I think you are looking for is Tech House. There is no official House Tech or House Techno genre, Tech House and Techno are both very different. ---

House Tech and House Techno was just an example regarding replacing text in the replacement field 🙂 But thanks for noticing. ---

No worries. I was just being pedantic 🙂 ---
