I've only just started using the Genre Category to let me assign "proper" genres to tracks without having each appear as a separate entry on the genre list. While MusicBee's genre categories work very nicely, any other program or device will show the genres exactly as they are stored in the Genre tag.
When I'm listening to music on my MP3 player, I usually want to quickly select select tracks from whatever genre I'm in the mood for. If I'm in the mood for "Rock" as I'm walking to the supermarket, I don't particularly care if it's Alternative Rock, Soft Rock, Classic Rock or Hard Rock but my MP3 player (and I imagine most other players) will show me each of those genres as a separate list entry.
It occurred to me it would be great if MusicBee had an additional option in the On-the-fly-conversion settings on the Devices preferences tab to automatically update the genre tag of synced tracks to the values assigned for the Genre Category. Then all tracks from those rock sub-genres mentioned above will appear under "Rock", where I can find them more easily as I'm trying to select music without bumping into people.
Thoughts?
Bee excellent to each other...
