837648 2009-12-08 06:03:00 Is there a way of getting itunes to automatically populate the genre section of the music info (for multiple songs).

Genre in my itunes is a mess and want to sort it out. Thought i could delete all the genre tags then let itunes do the rest. Rather not do it manually with 7000+ songs.

Cheers

I am after it automatically chosing the genre and entering this information into itunes - not arranging the data that is already there, thanks anyway

Not that I'm aware of. Also, (This is more for the rock/metal people out there)

Itunes detects Def Leppard as Metal.
Eternal Tears of Sorrow as electronic.
Sinergy as dance.
Beyond Dawn as dance/electronica.

Wouldn't that depend on how well your files are tagged

Think both my posts are quite clear . Am after a programme or way of itunes automatically populating the genre section for the songs . Not sorting but filling in the genre type for me .

837656 2009-12-09 05:08:00 Depends where the music comes from youre adding. By the looks of it, if its with a cd, it should add whatever. Or you can do it manually by right mouse on all the entries Speedy Gonzales (78)
837657 2009-12-09 05:16:00 When you rip music from a CD, itunes has the option to look up all that information automatically, or get it from the actual CD. If someone downloads stuff thats lets say not so legal , then theres a good chance that info wont be there. Legally downloaded music Through itunes does have all the info including cover art - just looked.

I know what you are wanting, but it wont be to easy to locate a program that will automatically look up the info when the tags are not there in the first place.

Following on from what speedy suggested you can right click the song / get Info / Info Tab / then manually put it in artist etc - down the bottom select the Genre. since you have lots -- will take a while.
