[QUOTE="MJGraf, post: 771606, member: 17886"] Hi there, some more observations: 1. It has nothing to do with the "MUSICIP PUID" tag. If I manually delete this tag from the mp3, delete the database and do a fresh import, it still has a genre in the database although every tag editor I tried (The Godfather, foobar, mp3tag) tells me there is no genre tag in that mp3. 2. When I manually put a genre in the mp3 tag, only this manually added tag is imported into the database. The genre that was displayed before, disappears. However, if I remove the manually added genre tag from the mp3, delete the music db and do a reimport, the "phantom genre" is back. 3. I used a hex editor, opened the respective mp3 and searched for the phantom genre (in this particular case "acappella"). But the string was not found in that mp3 file. This is really strange to me. Maybe the genre of music files is stored somewhere else in MP and when I import, not only the mp3-tags are read but it gets the genre info from somewhere else? Any help is appreciated.
