pman had a question, and posted to some social group, of which I am not subscribed. I don't pay attention to those groups, so if you have a question in the future, just post under this forum
Anyway, question is:
No. Rockit uses the 125 or so genres in the drop list, that are pretty much standardized from Winamp years ago.
You can however, type anything you want in the genre field. Rockit will recognize it as a separate genre, and display it as such (and sort by it). But, the problem is, if you move to other software that only recognizes the standard list, and uses the old ID3 v1 stuff (integer assignment), it may come up as "Other".
Most software is ID3 V2 compliant these days (although it is not technically a standard by any official body). That means it is a text field, and not an integer assignment that is limited.
I prefer to stick with the original 125, because it is transparent across most hardware and software (in case you wanted to know)
Anyway, question is:
Is there a way to edit the drop down genre lists?
