Time to clean up these quote blocks. This is getting ridiculous.

I primarily use genre tags because Rhythmbox will search by it, allowing
me to, say, play all my JPop music (rather than me search for: Maaya
Sakamoto, Ayumi Hamasaki, Hitomi, Mai Kuraki, Yoko Kanno, Yuki Kajiura,
Utada Hikaru). I agree that the Genre tag should be multi-faceted
though, like GENRE=JPop,Trance or something.

Yes, I can see your point about end result. But its definetely a start.
What if I don't have the complete album? I think there needs to be a way
to differentiate between Album info & individual song info. Maybe with a
clickable "link" between the two?
