I got the list of genres from the above mentioned Localizable.strings file - although i dont plan to edit it. Just so that I know I am using the default ones as much as possible, to reduce the duplications in the list. I.e I will change info on all songs marked as Rock/Pop to either Rock or Pop, since neither of those is going to disappear from the list Note there are 3 lists, one marked 'Genres', one marked 'Reduced Genres' and one marked CDText Genres. Im not sure yet what the difference is, but i suspect we are only interested in the Reduced Genres list as this matches the default set on the drop down in Info.
shame though.. "PornGroove" would have been one worth looking out for! 🙂
For info:
