Spotify, iTunes and many others who use the Gracenote service appear to flatten those tiers.Gracenote uses a three-tired system of categories and sub-categories.Wikipedia has collected many genres on its list over the years, but again there’s no way to automatically apply those to my music without LOTS of work.

Allmusic has a very comprehensive list but it isn’t easily portable to other systems or software.

list of Genresand Styles (these “styles” are one-to-many sub-sub categories).

Likewise, lots of the music software either ignores it, or, as iTunes does, takes a very general approach (they hope you’ll just use “genius” to get around the issue). It’s so obtuse that many people simply don’t pay attention to the ‘genre’ information in their collections. So, the next question seems to be: where can I get a good, reliable list of music genres? That’s a very tricky question, because “genre” is such a subjective concept.

Sadly, nearly all the music in my collection has a genre tag that is way too general “alternative” or way too specific “pre-punk indie rock” to be very good. I’d like for that list to help me easily answer the question “what kind of music do I want to listen to right now”. I’d like to be able to kick back with my iphone or whatever and quickly scroll through a list of genres. Lately I’ve become interested in cleaning up the information about my music library, the metadata tags that describe the music’s genre, in particular. I know it’s becoming unfashionable to actually own a digital copy of music anymore, but that doesn’t change the fact that I have several thousand songs that I have collected over the years.
