Still lacks true genre choice - clvrmnky

Apple has nothing to do with the "official" genres in the ID3 (and other) standards. Apple has not even defined genres in AAC. You are free to use whatever string you want for a genre.

iTunes will display whatever it finds in your song tags. If you create or inherit a song with the genre "Spanky-Foo Jazz" in it's ID3 tag (or equivalent), it will cheerfully make it available from that point on.

Other than the 1 byte of genres defined in the ID3 tag standard, the genres are up to you.

Come on, lazy! Type in your own genres! I do.

It's EASY to edit/create genres (even I worked out how to do it!)... then you can call 'em what you want.
