      As MusicBrainz will gain support for genres Picard should also support this. Some ideas about this:

      • Genres should probably be optional, since not all people want genres and there are multiple plugins getting genre information from different sources
      • We should perhaps keep the current folksonomy tags feature, at least for the first releases with genre support
      • We could rename the options page Metadata > Folksonomy Tags to Metadata > Genre and combine both options for using proper genre and folksonomy tags into one page

      Alternatively we could also just drop folksonomy tags and replace their implementation with the genre feature.

          [PICARD-1395] Support genres from MusicBrainz

          Yes, it makes sense, especially since, historically, the use of tags from MB in Picard was to give some "genre" support.

          After seeing how this got implemented on top of the folksonomy tags we should tackle this a bit different than I wrote above. My current thoughts:

          • Rename the "Folksonomy Tags" options page to "Genres"
          • Move the option "Use folksonomy tags as genre" to this options page and rename it to "Use genres from MusicBrainz"
          • Optional: Add some choice for the user to use only the MusicBrainz genres or all folksonomy tags. Make using just the genres the default

          Does this make sense?
