My point was that my music collection is made of stuff I transfered myself, 
and the usual genres are way too limited when you go beyond US popular 
music.
Having 'christian gansta rap' is cool, but 'ethnic' is not enough to 
differenciate between traditional japanese percussions and modern music from 
Mali.
Using manually entered genres, with tags in French, I'd rather have a way to 
group them by hand.

Thanks,
