Im evaluating v.2.6.1 (newest)
Is it possible to upate the genre tag for all songs by a single artist?
batch genre update based on artist

There isn’t this particular option, but all you need to do is
select the ‘Artist’ in the tag browser
Put the correct genre into one track
Copy the field
Paste into the genre fields of all the other tracks
Thanks for the reply…
Was hoping there was a quick and dirty way to do this. Do I need to add this to your wish list?
MusicBrains records aren’t consistent with Genre’s from one album to the next, with the same artist. This feature would help alot, since Artists typically stay within Genre…for example i have a ton of albums by Pink Floyd, thats a whole lot of pasting…

Ive added to my todo list, though really I dont see its much effort to do one copy and one paste, even if you are pasting into a few hundred rows.
I had the same question so many thanks for the post!

probably easier to implement after a database is incorporated
maybe you could make it so the “Find and Replace” (which can search and affect all entries in a column) will allow just entering the genre desired in the “replace” textbox and then choosing “Replace All”
is there something I can enter in the “Find” textbox to make sure all rows in the selected column are found (irregardless if it’s empty, or has multiple genres??
a suggestion would be to let the program assume a blank “Find” textbox means “select all” only when working on individual columns.
a combobox dropdown list (of unique entries in that column) instead of the “Replace” textbox would be very helpful in this mode…assuming it operates only on the current “filtered” view…

Both good ideas, I’ll do this

perhaps a Hotkey combo that replaces all row entries in a column with the “highlighted” entry. would require less navigating and allow more speed. Would just have to be careful if using without filters…
