[Easytag-mailing] easytag genres

[Isaac Witmer <isaaclw gmail com>]

I have a Sony NWZ-e345.

I realize part of the problem may be with the Walkman, but issues started when I began to use EasyTag.

When I tag music "Electronic" or "Hip-Hop" etc., it seems that it's marking it as a predefined genre (hence the drop down list).

When I browse my Walkman instead of having plain text genres, it instead has numbers (it turns out Electronic = 52 and Hip-Hop = 7).

I'd rather not use any pre-defined number system, since it appears my MP3 player doesn't handle this.

Can I override that? Or do I have to make up new Genres?
