Adding More Genres

[Shizzle]

well after finally getting close to my media filestructure and renaming all the media and making sure that the albums have the correct id3 tags ( ) I noticed that the genre list is just a sample...

well I took the list that is in WMP and put it into the sql file but since each genre is in a specific letter listing I thought that since I have a total of like 127 different genres that I could use a number instead... for instance

I know this isn't correct but I don't know what the line is exactly off the top of my head:

Code: Select all

INSERT INTO genre ('1' , 'Alternative');

then just continuing the list but changing the number and increasing it by 1
but it doesn't work. So my question is do the genre have to be ordered using the alpha system instead of numbers and if so if there a easier way of adding 100+ genres?

Anyone have any ideas? Or atleast steer me in the right direction

any and all help is greatly appreciated....

The genre uses letters because of the hierarchical structure.
Each character represents a directory level.
Here's an example:

Code: Select all

a    [+]-- Pop
aa    |--- Alternative 
ab    |---[+] Rock
aba        |-- Hard rock
abb        |-- Symphonic rock

The caracters doesn't give the alfabetical order.
But get sorted by the genre description.
This will give the same sorting order:

Code: Select all

a    [+]-- Pop
ab    |--- Alternative 
aa    |---[+] Rock
aab        |-- Hard rock
aaa        |-- Symphonic rock
