Good day,
I propose the addition of "_Nasheed_" into the list of categories. This type of songs are considered Islamically permissible and they could be described as chants relating religion, religious culture and modern events which do not contain any musical instrument. It may be argued that there are not much of these, or that it is not popular, yet they have a distinct spectrum of listeners and are clearly distinguished from any other type of music. So I would be glad if it is added on.
Kind regards,
Yahya

With "category" you mean "genre"?
Feel free to add your "[Nasheed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasheed)" as needed:
File -\> Options -\> Genres -\> Click on the "New" Button (the one with a golden star) and enter whatever you think is useful for your collection.

I do not think that quantity matters - but please see also the release notes on an earlier version:

This version comes with a wide variety of changes, most notably: Support for Matroska (MKA/MKV) With the recent support for multi-track files, it was about time to add support for the Matroska container format. Similar to MP4, Matroska can contain both audio and video tracks. This means, that you now have another option to tag your video collection with Mp3tag. Mp3tag currently displays the default (or forced) audio track and all included chapters. I'm curio…
There is a fixed set of genres for ID3V1 tags represented by one-byte-numbers.
There is no such restriction for ID3V2 tags so you are free to do as @LyricsLover described.
These user-defined genres for which there is no one-byte-number will be displayed as "Other" in ID3V1 tags.

Yes, I meant genre. Thank you both, I was not aware of that possibility of adding new default genres for one's self.
