I'm getting this output from eyeD3:

Invalid numeric genre ID: 255
Unknown genre ID: 255

And I found that there is a eyed3.id3.GenreException. Tried to catch that with:

try:
    song = eyed3.load(entry)
except eyed3.id3.GenreException:
    print('foo')

I expected to see foo instead of above output, but it's still the same.

Is the GenreException even thrown? Or is it just normal print() output?

Btw, there is a google group mentioned on the project page, eyeD3-users. I joined, but apperently I "don't have permission to post in this group".
