Multiple problems with genres
Posted: Thu Aug 19, 2021 9:49 pm
Problem #1 - PlayerPro fails to recognize genres that other music players understand. When viewing the Genre browser, the first several genres are numbers, rather than words. Similar songs/artists have been grouped together in these numbered folders (eg - comedians), so PlayerPro knows they are the same genre, but the genre text is a number in parenthesis - eg. "(57)" instead of "Comedy".
Problem #2 - When using the "Edit tags" feature from the Artist or Album browser, assigning an artist/album to a genre can inadvertently un-assign all other artists from that genre, and the only thing remaining in that genre will be the newest item the user just tagged.
Problem #3 - When adding a genre to the user's Favorites, not all artists (or albums) that are in that genre will show up in that playlist. (eg. - user has over a dozen "Hard Rock" artists. When opening "Hard Rock" from the Favorites list, there is only one artist/album in the list, whereas there are more artist/albums in the genre when viewed from the Genre browser.)
Problem #4 - When using the "Edit tags" feature from the Artist browser, sometimes the genre text field will change to a random genre while the user is still typing. (Eg- User is attempting to type "Djent" into an empty genre field, but after only typing "Dje", PlayerPro inserts the words "Modern Rock" into the text field, resulting in the user typing, "DjeModern Rock")
Problem #5 - When using the "Edit tags" feature, sometimes PlayerPro fails to overwrite the tag entirely. The user will see a message of "1 song has been updated," but the song continues to show in the old genre.
