A question about genre

Postby karlitoes » Fri Aug 07, 2009 12:42 am

Hi there,

I've been trolling the archives trying to learn about searching and I found mention made of either browsing or searching by genre. Strange thing is, I can find no mention made anywhere on my instance of Subsonic to anything about genre -- except Settings->Personal-> browse/playlist field selectors.

On the main application interface, I have a browse pane to the left like everyone else, that appears to offer browsing by artist name only. And, in the search interface, I only see boxes for "any", artist, album, and song title.

Can anyone offer hints about how to activate browse/search by genre?

Thanks - and thanks to Sindre for authoring this great app!

Karl

Organize your music into genre folders and add each as its own music folder, then use the dropdown to filter based on genre

Thanks for the note mixmaster.

I was thinking maybe the genre ID3 tag could be used so that the music would not have to be reorganized on the disk. Guess this isn't the case.

Thanks, though
