I agree that this is a problem.
Another thing that might help is having a song-genre network graph view. Then you could visually see how songs grouped into related genres.
Yeah, I wanted to categorize my music into maybe 5 categories .. but there's really no chance / interest of doing so when I got about 200-300 "genres" from the scan.
Check out my version which tries to sort them in Parent/Child genre lists: https://github.com/kmturley/OrganizeYourMusic
I use a list of genres nested under their parents here: https://github.com/kmturley/OrganizeYourMusic/blob/master/web/genres.js
This list is manually created, but ideally we could pull it from an API somewhere!
There are a lot of genres and it's difficult to organize 'new wave' and 'glimmer pop' into playlists. Could you have a function which sorts tracks into larger genre categories to automate this process for the user?
I had a go at prototyping it quickly by adding this function:
Then within your addTracks method:
This is how it comes out:
Although my version is not perfect (I'm guessing because the genres are based on an album, not a song?) could you implement something like this to your tool?
