iPod Subgenre?!

[James Philp]

When browsing the music store, click on a genre and you are then asked for a subgenre! - Is this new to 4.8? I certainly don't remember it before!
There is no box to enter in a subgenre into my own tracks!

I'm sure this hasn't always been like this!? Anyone else stumbled upon this?

Wow! That's really cool! Too bad I don't browse the music store like that...

But cool nonetheless. I might actually start browsing that way now with this new feature.

Yeah thats new, thats cool!

I also love the new feature in the picture tray were it shows what is playing rather what you have clicked on.

Good upgrade, but still hoping for some more bigger features though

Anyone know when iTunes 5 might be coming out?

i want to be able to tag my tracks like that, it would certainly help me organize my stuff a bit more neatly, that way if i want specific i can get there, or general enough.....

That's been in there ages, all you had to do was click between them by clicking on the title bar above the picture tray.

This is cool.

oooh - this is exciting news!

I would very much like to see this happen, man!

Sub-genres would be awesome. I currently have 5 or 6 rock genres (rock - alternative, rock - classic, rock - jam bands, etc...) b/c there is just too much to put all in one genre. I wish could create a lead genre for rock, and then have those others as sub-genres...keep my menus a little cleaner!

and the same goes for playlists - I'd like to be able to organize playlists by folders/subfolders.

Apple has this in capability in iPhoto - I don't see why they don't have it already for iTunes...

Just wondering - where is this??

I was thinking about this the other day. Wouldn't it usually work by just writing both the genre and the subgenre in the genre field?

Pop, Boy band
Pop, Europop
Pop, Bubblegum pop

Search for Pop, gives you all pop. Searcing for Europop gives you only Europop. By making smart playlists with Genre contains X, you can do almost anything.

Yes, for smart folders maybe. But doing this will make your genres list much longer.
An easier way would be to put this in track comments, but again, you couldn't then just browse for some "Pop-Rock" say.
Genre>Rock>Pop Rock>Artists/Albums

They wouldn't have put it in the music store if it wasn't useful!
