I would like to see the music genres that iTunes uses in the French language. If anyone has their computer / iTunes set to French and could post a list of the music genre names, I would appreciate it. Thanks
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Apple for Moi,
It might be quicker to temporarily set your own computer's iTunes to French, and look up what you want:
iTunes: Changing the display language

When you are done, change it back.

Good idea Ed. My iTunes library is on an iMac, but I also have a MacBook Pro with only one song in iTunes. I followed your advice on the MacBook Pro, and these are the genres that appear by default in French:
Alternatif
Bande originale
Blues/R&B
Classique
Country
Dance
Easy listening
Électronique
Folk
Hip-hop/Rap
House
Inclassable
Industriel
Jazz
Livres et histoires
Musique pour enfants
Musique religieuse
Musiques du monde
New age
Pop
Rock
Techno
Trance
Vacances
Looks like many are the same as in English ...
Pomme4moi,
That is a good list! As you may know, it is also possible in iTunes to create your own genre in iTunes, by typing text into the appropriate filed of the Get Info window.
For example, in my library (which is mainly in English), some other genres used for French language music are:
Cajun
Rap français
Yé-Yé
Zouk
Yes, thank you, I am aware that I can create my own genres. I also wanted to see whether genres in French are expressed in feminine (la musique alternative) or masculine (le genre alternatif). Now I see that it is the latter ...
Pomme4moi,
OK, that sounds good. "Alternatif" in the masculine seems to be pretty standard. For example, here is the main genre list from Archambault (Canada):
