SongKong now giving numbers for some Genres

Hi,
Since upgrading SongKong the other day, I’m getting some genres being labelled as numbers. It’s not happening with all of them, it’s rather spotty.

I’m defaulting to Discogs Styles for Genres and Discogs Genres for Groupings.

(On another note, since the upgrade, my groupings are now coming up as only Discogs Genres, whereas before, it threw both Discogs Genres and Styles into the Groupings field. Many thanks for the improvement.)

Regards,
James

There is a standard set of Genres that have an internal number, this is part of the ID3 standard. If you have Save songs so they work best with iTunes enabled we never use the numbers, if disabled we use numbers for standard Genres, so likely this is the issue. Also see Genre Display as Numbers

We do plan to make this a separate option - https://jthink.atlassian.net/browse/SONGKONG-2281

Where are you seeing the numbers ?

I’m picking the numbers up in MediaMonkey.

Thanks for the response. I’ll go check the settings, probably won’t be able to pay any attention to it for a day or two, and will let you know.

Many thanks,
James

Working all right now. But just a note on the behaviour, if you weren’t aware…It won’t overwrite the numbers for genres when re-running (with Rematch selected). Deleted the genres and reran and the genre names came up fine.

On the Genres do you have Genres set to Always Replace otherwise it will not replace. Or it maybe that even with this set won’t resave because at top level it seems to have same genre set, I will have to check.

Yes, set to always replace. Not a big deal, just thought you’d like to know about a little niggle.
