Genres and styles
An addition to the existing manuals. Your genre and style names remain in their stored original language; interface guidance follows the selected language.
Refine your search
Open Genre / style on the search page. First choose a category such as Rock, then an available main genre or a style such as Krautrock. Select entire category includes all values assigned to that category. All genres clears the genre/style filter. Artist, album, track, media format and year range can still be combined.
Your own terms remain accessible
The choices come from the current collection. Empty categories are not offered. Terms without a known category appear under Other / unassigned. Simple spelling variants are grouped for selection without changing the stored original values. A category may contain several genres or styles, and terms may belong to several categories.
Edit and back up separate fields
When adding or editing media, main genres and styles remain separate fields. Separate multiple values with semicolons (;). Commas belong to the name; your own terms are allowed. Exports and full backups preserve both fields. The genre/style choice also applies when exporting the current search results. A full backup still contains the entire collection.
Understand the statistics
Statistics use the same categories as search. An album is counted at most once in each matching group. Because an album can have several genres and styles, the sum of the groups may exceed the number of albums. Media without genre and style information are shown separately.
