IVE DONE IT!!!!!
Woohoo, at last...right, i think id better explain.
Last night i decided to go through my iPod and organise it properly, so it had all the artists where they should be, and only one artist (like having everything under metallica, not mettallica metallica or metallikah!)
Then i went through and sorted out each and every song into the correct genre, not just bulking up a jamiroquai album to just "funk".
Half hour ago i finally got down to Z and finished - so now if i select "Classic rock" ill actually get classic rock, not random metal songs exploding in my ear.
I was suprised at how far down you have to sub-categorize things tho. For example, what the hell does Amy Winehouse come under, its not funk, its not jazz, it could be retro jazz vocal, or female solo - but i ended up going with London Jazz, along with Jamie Cullum, even tho to me, the 2 should be in seperate lists.
However if you sub-categorize too far, you end up with every artist having their own genre!
Anyway, thats a pretty sad blog, but it made me happy
