Is there a way of getting Tag Panel Genre drop-down to behave lile a regular text fields, i.e. offer current tracks' values (currrently missing) rather than the list of predefined values?
I do hope so!
Thanks.

I don't think it's possible.
But you can add a 2nd Genre Field to the tag panel:

Except note that the 1st Genre field stops working - its value is not writted on CTRL-S.
