[Future proposal] Better genre detection/through other APIs #1991

Closed ItzSwirlz closed 1 month ago

ItzSwirlz commented 7 months ago

Requested Feature

Spotify keeps its genres of a song by basically guessing, I believe, or at least thats what I think. Lots of songs, especially EDM songs are easily given the wrong genre when ran through not only spotDL, but really any other song genre finder in general.

Possible implementation

Using something like Last.fm's api as an option, which may allow for people (on last.fm's end/the community) to make more correct genre information for spotDL to generate.

Using new metadata provider just to get genre is a bit of overkill. But I might consider integrating it into something at some point
