Updating Genre field for tracks scattered across many different folders (and a question about genres)?

Great app, managed to organize most of my library.

But one thing I’m not sure about is - How would I update just the genre field (for example) for something like 1000 tracks that are spread amongst something like 200 different folders? In Audioranger, I can drag-and-drop everything from Foobar (just select everything marked as ‘?’ in the library and drag it over) and they all load. In Songkong, it seems like I’m restricted to selecting a single folder at once. I think I can have multiple folders as a single string, like - “C:\folder 1” “C:\folder 2” “C:\folder 3” - but it seems like I need to have them entered manually.

Also, for tracks that don’t really have the genres filled out in MusicBrainz or Discogs (Discogs has the very useful ‘Style’ field, so I can use that to have multiple genres for the ‘grouping’ tag in foobar)… Is it possible for SongKong to use the tags on RateMyMusic.com? It seems like they have a very dedicated group that tag even obscure stuff quite well. For example, this artist ‘AAAMYYY’ doesn’t have much in genre on MusicBrainz or Discogs, but they have a well-filled-out section on RateMyMusic;

Hi, SongKong manual edit only works one folder at a time, loading all the songs at same time has consequences for memory usage especially if using the Web/Remote UI. Manual edit is not a key feature of SongKong and is better served by more classic style tag editors such as Jaikoz.

SongKong does not interface with RateMyMusic so you cannot use that directly with SongKong, but you can use Discogs genres and styles.
