Q: iTunes movie genres reverting?
I have a growing collection of iTunes movies from both iTunes store purchases, as well as digital downloads bundled with discs.
Apple likes to categorize just about everythign into "Action & Adventure". I have changed the genre on some of the purchased movies to things like "Kids & Family", "Thriller" or "Sci-Fi & Fantasy".
Every once in a while, I will restart iTunes on my Mac Mini and notice that genres have reverted back to (probably) their defaults. When I look at the "Get Info" data for a reverted video, I notice that the genre I've changed it to (e.g. "Kids & Family") is correctly listed there, but the movie is grouped into the "Action & Adventure" genre within iTunes. Interestingly, I will change nothing in the Get Info dialog, click on OK and the movie magically appears in the genre category I "moved it to".
Music tracks do this, as well, but let's just focus on Movies; does anyone know of a work around to stop this annoying behavior from iTunes?
Thanks, in advance.
