Hi petrus, Can you change a genre on a track not rather than on a full album?
Highlight the track and then try changing it, Then once you have this worked out try again with the album. It’s fiddly I think but you will get it From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Petrus Tuerlings Sent: Wednesday, 15 May 2019 11:54 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Music genres in iTunes Sorry, But I think I need the Idiot title now as I have sat here for the last two hours and have achieved nothing at all, I am missing something as it sounds really simple and this is the first time the Mac has gotten the better of me. I’ll just have to live with iTunes giving my Albums incorrect genres. I’m not even going to try play lists. Thank you to everyone that has tried to help.

If you believe that you're focused on a specific album, but the cmd-i brings up a different album, then it sounds to me that your cursors may not be following each other. There are multiple ways to skin a cat, not that I've ever skinned one, but if you are wanting to affect albums, then it is best to select Albums from the Library sidebar. If you're simply wishing to change things one album at a time, then Grid view works fine. Just interact with the Grid, then VO-space on the album you wish to make changes to, interact with the resulting album details, VO-space on the Action menu and select Album Info from that menu. Modifying the info here will change the tag info for the entire album. The same thing can be done when Albums is selected in the Library sidebar under List view. The difference is that you can use the cmd-i command and more easily do multiple albums. While in List view, you can use the shift-arrow to select multiple albums adjacent to each other, or use VO-cmd-return to select multiple non-contiguous items followed by the cmd-i to Get Info. Changing the info tags using this method will change all titles within all the selected albums to your desired genre. You could also select Songs from the Library sidebar, then sort by album either from the View menu, or by using the VO-shift-back slash command to jump to the Header area of the columns. When sorted by album, then use shift-arrow to select multiple titles from the same album and cmd-i to bring up the Get Info dialog. There you go, one poor cat skinned more than one way. Later...

Don't know if this will make a difference for you, but thought I'd mention it in case it's helpful.

I made sure list view was checked in the iTunes preferences and then I tried to select the songs I wanted in a album and then do command I and it brings up info from a totally different album. I’m obviously missing something simple.

Simply select the song, songs, or titles within an album then press cmd-i to Get Info on the songs. Either press tab until you find the Genre field, or VO navigate to the Scroll area, interact with it and navigate to the Genre field. When focused on this field, you can VO-space to choose from the available genres, or type one in yourself if you'd prefer to create your own. Navigate to the OK button and press it and voila, all done. Later...

I’ve ripped most of my CD collection to my Mac now but some of them clearly are not the genre that iTunes says they are. When I’m at work I like to choose a genre and set it to shuffle so I get a random selection of songs, and I’ll suddenly get one that I’m not expecting.
