I imported my whole collection, which is shared with smb. When I look at the collection by genre, it has a ton of numbers as the genre. Like there is [1], [2], [3], at the top, and then once you scroll down past the numbers then there are the normal genres. I checked one of the mp3's that was listed as the [1] genre, and it does have an actualy genre listed, not just the number. Any ideas why? <

Some of your MP3's probably contain "1" "2" etc in the genre fields of their ID3 tags. You can retag your MP3's with a variety of applications. (free). I use "the godfather" for this very purpose and it works very well.

i went through and got rid of all the ID3v1 tags so there was only ID3v2 tags. I then made sure every mp3 had a valid genre in the tag and reorganized the music collection, but still the same thing with the numbers as genres. help? <

someone mentioned something about the actual value of the genre in a mp3 tag being a number, which corresponds to a lookup table of genre's, but i have no idea how come they are staying as numbers instead of genre's. They aren't unusual genres and it's not even isolated to a particular genre. For example, almost all my techno mp3's are udner a number genre, but there is one that was correctly listed under techno. <
