<p>I need to ID tag proper Genre does this program do that</p>
</blockquote>
<p>beaTunes can do genre tagging (Analysis Tasks -> Import Metadata). Note that genre may be very subjective—your mileage may vary.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>can I import them into Serato DJ if they ca be tagged?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>That is a question Serato should answer. If Serato can read regular genre tags, then yes.</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/468676862019-01-28T19:27:18Z2019-01-28T19:27:19ZGenre <div><p>OK with that being said I just need to analyze my hard drive with beaTunes<br>

</blockquote>
<p>That's what I would assume.</p>
<p>As I said, your mileage may vary. When importing metadata, be extra careful not to <em>overwrite</em>, i.e. <em>replace</em> valid data. Whatever you already have, may be "more" correct and there is no undo (do you have a backup?!).</p>
<p>So you might want to try this with a few songs first.</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/468676862019-01-29T12:11:32Z2019-01-29T12:11:32ZGenre <div><p>I do not think I overwritten my Metadata I did the changes of the genre<br>

</blockquote>
<p>If with "music program" you mean <em>beaTunes</em>, you <em>have</em> changed data in the file itself. Changes in beaTunes are almost always reflected in the file.</p>
<p>There is only one exception and that is if you are using an iTunes-based beaTunes library and you are changing fields that iTunes does not support while embedding (an option in the general preferences) is off. See <a href="https://blog.beatunes.com/2013/10/so-where-exactly-does-beatunes-store.html">https://blog.beatunes.com/2013/10/so-where-exactly-does-beatunes-st...</a> for details.</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/468676862019-01-31T14:15:28Z2019-01-31T14:15:28ZGenre <div><p>Ahh ok sorry for all the questions. One more question will BeaTunes help me<br>
with finding the correct music genre for my music? I have gotten a new<br>
music hard drive from a friend and a lot of his music genre tags are way<br>
off from the song. Can this program help detect the correct music genre<br>
tags and properly tag them in the program?</p></div>Jason Addisontag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/468676862019-02-01T12:35:37Z2019-02-01T12:35:37ZGenre <div><p>Yes.</p>

<blockquote>

</blockquote>
<p>I am not quite sure what you're asking, but yes, you don't have to import genre names from anywhere.</p>
<blockquote>

</blockquote>
<p>Thanks for the feedback. The shown genres are based on an ontology. For some genres it may be not very useful. Can you give any examples?</p>
<blockquote>

<p>Does it not?</p>

<p>I cant give you good example now, btunes expired, but will buy it this week, when have time to work with it more.</p>
<p>The problem is if accidentaly touch the genre field, it can save very odd result to genre tag, what has allready saved by me using mp3tag application, what i use after buying tracks.</p>
<p>Electronic sub genres can be example ethnic house,organic house, psytrance,progressive trance or house, PsyDub,PsyBreak,psybient, Chillgressive,psychedelic .......<br>
It could be nice if could turn off super.</p>
<p>Key field, I tested beatlet CustomKeyrender.js and its very good, if want use cameleot or own formats for key, there is one small bug, A should be B.<br>
I change the code, its micro correction, so i wont post the source here.</p>
<p>If i try to sort by Key, Beatunes are not using those values which are displayed by customKeyrender beatlet, i would like to use that for sorting, now they are not logical order by beatlets value.</p>
<p>All values bmp,and key, genre is allready filled.<br>
I only analyse color,timbre,segments. no updates from external databases via beatunes.</p>
<p>Beatunes will help my workflow,while thinking DJ sets.</p>
<p>regards,<br>

Like a</p>
<p>Deep House (House)</p>
<p>this case the super (House) is just a noise, why need to repeat two times house house. zero information value. its pretty much same if repeating after BPM again BPM</p>
<p>If using BMP by Key or Key by BMP for sorting with beatlet, the sort order is not correct. not even if try to use plain key.</p>
<p>I just verified it</p>

<p>Are you aware of the <a href="https://twitter.com/beaTunesApp/status/1459187374307655681">https://twitter.com/beaTunesApp/status/1459187374307655681</a> ? Does it also have the A/B bug?</p>

</blockquote>
<p>I'm afraid, that's currently not possible. Key sorting follows this schema 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, etc. and stays the same, no matter how the key information is displayed.</p>
<blockquote>

<p>The key beaTlet does not affect the sort order at all and IMHO is not supposed to.</p>
<blockquote>

</blockquote>
<p>Just to make sure there is no misunderstanding: The super genre is just <em>displayed</em>, not added as tag to the file or to the database. In some cases it may be a welcome hint, but I agree, for most people this does not add much info they don't already know.</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/468676862022-05-07T12:56:38Z2022-05-07T12:56:41ZGenre <div><p>Hi</p>
<p>Sorry i dont understand your the link.</p>
<p>because its a bug. no question about it.</p>
<p>other thing.</p>
<p>Sorting should be the way how it displayed, do you agree ?<br>
it can be little complex to code, but its not impossible.</p>
<p>also hiding super is not difficult task.</p>
<p>Some of these things are also mention by other users, not by me only.</p>
