Jaikoz- Discussion Forum

I don't know how useful this will be to other users, but it feels like too much work not to share it.

I've been tagging with a lot of the tags from allmusic.com. I find their genre/style hierarchy to be quite accurate, and I really like their reviews and moods/occasions. I've been doing this manually which is a real PITA, but hopefully my pain is your gain.

I've been using genres/styles like this: The main genre (Pop/Rock, R&B, Jazz, etc) is always the first one. All of the styles follow that. When looking at these with Winamp, iPhone, whatever, only the main genre shows up, but searching by genre will look at everything and return the other styles. Hopefully this does not backfire in the long run.

Moods are moods, and themes are occasions.

* I was feeling confident that these were quite accurate, but going through them again and I see quite a few mistakes. I don't know if many, if anyone at all, will use these, but I'll keep updating them if there's demand. If you want to fix/add items, PM me your gmail/iGoogle ID and I'll add you for editing

** I file with the first letter of the first name (ie, "Toby Keith" is under T), however, I don't use "the" at the beginning of artists (ie, "The Germs" is just "Germs"). Artist, Album Artist, and Sort Artist may mix these up, but how I file them is how they show up in the list.

Working on J...

* This is now fixed in Jaikoz 4.5.0

I think it would be more useful if you also showed the musicbrainz release id.

Have you submitted your genres to Musicbrainz from within Jaikoz using Remote Correct/Submit Genres

@dkoh,
please submitted your genres to Musicbrainz, so your work never get lost.
(at least as long as Musicbrainz exists)

Thx Paul.

Yeah, I guess I can up tags to MB since I'll be making new lists... see how MB takes long lists of comma delimited values.

I'll throw the ID's in there too.

Updated #-B and added C.

Added D

Cool, thanks for the list. Ill have to download them and check it out. I have my music sorted the same way. So much easier to sort by first name, especially when there are bands that use band names that appear as a persons name.

Just added the Es. I'm submitting as many genres to MB as I can but I'm having a real problem with timeouts. Sometimes I can do 600, others I can not do 20, so I do what I can.

Fs are up.

Added Gs.
