Some genres have cryptic ids instead of text

[Phrogz]

s = M.where(genre:'(123)').first
s.genre         #=> "(123)"
s.file          #=> "Beelzebubs/Foster Street/08 Comfortably Numb.mp3"

phrogz$ eyeD3 "Beelzebubs/Foster Street/08 Comfortably Numb.mp3" | grep genre
track: 8        genre: A Cappella (id 123)

I'd like to get the genre name, not the id, in my Song instances. Is this possible?

Hmm, this is due to the old id3 standard of storing the genre as an id. The reason eyeD3 displays it properly is because it manually converts it. Here's a mapping table: http://php.net/manual/en/function.id3-get-genre-list.php

We could probably include that in the gem.

Thanks, I confirm that using mpc I see the same ID-based result coming back from MPD. I'll look on creating a pull request for the mapping.
