I searched this song just for this reason. I have come across a few that are hard to categorize including Fat Boy Slim / Gorilla Zoe / and 3oh3

Very interesting project. I am building some software that may be complementary. By defining rules to categorise your music collection and then allow software to apply the rules automatically I think you can save a lot of time while managing large music libraries. In this case, I may say a rule is to use the genre tree from either: (MusicGenreTree.com OR allmusic OR Amazon OR…)

I also blog about music library management in general at http://musiclibrarymanagement.blogspot.com/2009/07/. Please take a look if you have some time!

Good luck with your project…

oh and to wade:
‘Electronica’ does not exist, thats a term Madonna made up for some stupid reason and the media just jumped on the bandwagon, lol.

Hi. I find your post interesting. I agree with both the wikipedia statement and your ideas. However, I dont think checking the most ‘popular’ music trees will do because those will most likely only be correct on ‘popular’ music, which if unlucky, may only include hip-hop and pop etc.

You need to look at more trees that delves into all the genres such as jazz, house, dnb, country etc etc.

I don’t see anything after “someone else explaining the situation”. Is there an embedded video of a form that even the mighty Fire-Fox is blind to?

After contemplating this same puzzle/problem, beening tasked with classifying a music library that has nearly a terabyte of music, into genre. I have decided that keep it simple principle is best.

Windows media player only allows you to classify genre on an Artists Album level, which I find works for 90% of all music.

I’m not sure if it makes sense to try to standardize the world on a particular list of genre, because music is art, and every individual classifies music in different ways, but from an individual high level we can classify our music collections into basic genre.

You can take the basic approach of:

Rock,
Rap,
Country,
Hip-Hop,
Pop,
Dance,
Electronica,
New Age,
Easy Listening,
Oldies,
Holiday,
Alternative,
Disco,
Jazz,
Classical
R&B,
Blues,
Punk,
Other

There are many, many more classifications, and sub classifications, and as your Other folder grows, you can group music into these additional classifications.

Good Luck, this is not an easy task.

I classified it as alternative. That is the genre I use for songs of “Crazy’s” ilk.
