Revamp the genre frame #2

Open JeevanJames opened 6 years ago

JeevanJames commented 6 years ago

The genre frame currently exposes its data as a string, which is not really useful. It needs to be more strongly-typed.

Add enums for the ID3v1 genres as well as the Winamp extensions mentioned in the spec.
Since multiple genre values can be specified, make it a collection.
As per the ID3v2 spec, have special properties to indicate whether the track is a remix (RX) or a cover (CR).

I had the task to add genre support to my project, which uses ID3v1. I made an enum for that with all the Winamp extensions, if you want to copy it.
