I'm not that keen on that
Where then should the eel sound, the tearjerker, etc.
I understand the question but how far do you want to go
If I remember a little bit from my childhood it's not more than 10 artists who represented glamor rock it's just a period “3 years” when it was really (pop)ular

I agree with you, but we still have to critically assess the existing format and possibly change it.

I think it would indeed be wise to discuss the whole genre thing once in a while. As far as I'm concerned, preferably in a personal management meeting, as we had in the past with René and Arco.

Personally, I find genres very complicated and superfluous. Every enthusiast has different criteria when determining the genre and I wonder who uses it to look up. Not me in any case. I search by artist - country - carrier (- sometimes even a label)
You can still name Rock & Roll and Blues on technical grounds. R&R: four-four time with afterbeat, often I, IV, V chord pattern and up-tempo. instruments are often piano and saxophone.
Blues: 12 bars, slow tempo, pentatonic scale. Also common I, IV, V pattern.
There are also a lot of deviations and variants for both.

I adjust and also fill in, but it strikes me that many importers hardly pay any attention to it and just enter something (which is then nicely filled in as standard and not corrected for all subsequent tracks).

In this case I don't completely agree with you. The type/genre classification is especially useful for jazz and classical music lovers and I think also for the novice music lover, who still has to find his/her way in the musical chaos.

Maybe you shouldn't take it too seriously. Not everything can be determined on technical grounds. Many terms have emerged for marketing reasons.

It's nice that we sometimes disagree ;-)

But why are genres useful for jazz and classical music enthusiasts? Is anyone searching the catalog for opera? Bebop? Dixieland, opera or operetta? etc.
For beginning music lovers, I think the chaos will only get bigger. Also what big sales sites and streaming platforms do (if you like this, you should listen to that too) works (for me) pretty bad. I would advise beginners to listen to as much unknown music as possible to develop their own taste from there.

I use "genres" at record fairs to save time... Handy if there's a bunch of Blues or Sixties ;-)

FransS , But isn't that also time-saving if you want to buy something online? And also useful if you are looking for a certain record in the catalog and do not know all the characteristics, but do know some, such as that it is jazz. Then you can also filter on that, right?

Precisely!
Rene Buying and ordering online works differently than rummaging through bins, right? If you are looking for a record in LD you can filter, but it will not yield results. Suppose you are looking for a record by Miles Davis, but you do not know that it is Miles Davis or, for example, Kind of Blue and you search for Jazz .... then you get 9463 items and then? Mmm okay. Then you can still search on CD (3385) or LP (4232)
Blues ditto: 4103 items. CD 1488 and LP 1356. Collectors looking for records in the catalog know they are looking for BB King ;-)

You should definitely view 1000 items
With Rene's example, it is still manageable <40 pieces

And other music managers or other interested parties.
Where is the difference in the Genre, Folk and Folk Singer/Songwriter.
Is the Genre, Folk Singer/Songwriter perhaps only about her or him writing the music and lyrics and singing them herself?
If so what if someone else co-wrote the music and lyrics, or if someone else sings the song, is it just Folk?
And one more question, if it says Genres Folk Singer/Songwriter, why does the Genres not only say Genre, Singer/Songwriter, some examples of this are Joni Mitchell, Laura Nyro, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and others.

I suspect the difference is in individual artists versus groups. Joni Mitchell seems to me Folk Singer/Songwriter and The Pogues and The Dubliners Folk.

Singer / Songwriter is a typification of the artist himself, isn't it?

This discussion will go on and on (similar to a discussion in another unnamed section:-)) starting over and over again. It must first be clear what Genre means at LastDodo. Apparently nobody wants to burn their fingers on this, so I'll give a first (Wikipedia) suggestion:

A genre is a movement or category in the music world in which works are classified according to their corresponding individuality, such as style or content. Structural elements that predominate, or, conversely, exceptional, deviating elements can determine the classification according to genre.

Is a Folk Singer/Songwriter a Genre, at least it is in the list of Genres at LastDodo.
Collectioneur
That's right, a Singer/Songwriter belongs to the Artist and this Artist makes music and I think this is called Singer/Songwriter Genre (I think there are dozens of examples of this, also at LastDodo, including Bob Dylan for example) (These Artists write the music and lyrics yourself and sing it yourself with the accompaniment of a Guitar or Piano) so it just belongs to Genres, just like other Genres such as Krautrock, Neue Deutsche Welle and also Glam Rock
I raise this once in a while, then there's a discussion about it and then it's quiet again, so nothing happens anymore.
I also don't know where the problem is with which light to just add a few, if they are in the list who then wants to fill them in at the Tracks, but that's fine.
But do nothing, say it yourself.

It's clear, isn't it? Singer/songwriter in itself is not a genre. Folk, of course, but that was also clear, wasn't it?
Otherwise, what is the genre if you only see singer / songwriter? Do you know right away, that's pop or rock or folk? Oh no, wait, there is no genre listed..

It is then clear that folk and singer / songwriter should be split, in fact from the list.

When you write, This is one of those things that has just been accepted in the past and needs to be addressed in time.
Then I already know enough, then nothing will happen.

That nothing happened I don't think it's true that a lot of things need adjustments time is unfortunately the case and I'm also disappointed by that
At the end of this year I will be 14 years old with Catawiki/Lastdodo
From the beginning I have been calling for more scans in this section
We have hammered on the track fields that really you sometimes come across old track fields
A great battle was made then, all those old fields were suddenly (I think in 3 days) transferred
But really this was a long time ago
