I'm investigating a bug report that a user filed because easytag lists a Genre called "Negerpunk" and this apparently is a racist term in German. A recent thread I saw in the mailing list archive asked about the Genre list and it was said it was taken straight from the list on id3.org, but their list is shorter and does not contain this one. What is the meaning of this term and where does it come from?
Hey Phil. I took over maintanence of EasyTAG a while back from Jerome who didn't have time for it. Eventually David came and helped me significantly. As far as I know, neither David or I, and probably not Jerome either, made a conscious decision to add that in there. The genre list was probably copied from somewhere else. But as you say, if it's not listed in id3.org, then I'd be curious to know where it came from too. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com
