Set genre of individual songs (lastgenre)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When importing an album, lastgenre plugin is trying to fetch genre from 
last.fm. If successful, the plugin sets it as album's genre. I would however 
suggest setting also this genre for all songs in the album. This way also other 
media players can access this genre tag.

Suggested changes:

...
album = config.lib.get_album(task.album_id)
album.genre = genre

for item in album.items():
    item.genre = genre
    config.lib.store(item)
...

Thanks for the report. Actually, the code as written *does* set the genre of 
individual tracks (saying album.genre = genre does this automatically) but 
there's a bug elsewhere in beets that's preventing the genre from being written 
to the files' tags. This has been fixed in trunk:

Here are instructions for running master if you're interested in trying out the 
fix now:
