How to change genre for mutliple albums?

Postby memorylane » Sat Oct 22, 2011 5:30 pm

I have alot of albums that do not show the correct genre. For example, when I look at one of these albums it has the genre
labeled as "17" when it should be "Rock". There are 50-100 albums that have the genre incorrect. Is there any way to change
them all at once? Or do I have to do it one album at a time?

Thanks

MediaMonkey, Winamp or Foobar2000 to name just a few.
This is assuming that its the ID tags that are incorrectly named and its not a different problem.

Due to the confusion from too many genres of music, we have decided to put both country music and rap music into the genre of Crap music.

The ID tag is stored in YOUR files and SS just reads them so the answer is no
