Duplicate Description possibility for Music-Genres

[AxcellZedd 2]

As there are so many different music genres it would be great to have the possibility to add a description to each music genre. Similar to the Band Info.

And it would be great that paragraphs would be shown correctly when done and not only one long text block.

Nice info and examples on Music Genres: https://www.musicianwave.com/top-music-genres/

Another nice breakdown: https://rebelmusicz.com/music-genres-list/

Overkill list... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_music_genres_and_styles

Exactly this kind of information would be nice to have right when you click and choose one specific genre.

Hey, welcome to the Emby Community! 

Yeah, I want this too. Emby said it may be easy to do - but that was nearly 2 years ago now:

https://emby.media/community/topic/128632-add-overview-text-section-to-the-music-genre-pages/

RateYourMusic has some very good Genre desciptions: 

https://rateyourmusic.com/genres/

This old Bliss blog is the best article I have ever read on how to organise Genres to suit your own collection:

https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2015/03/17/mp3-genres-one-size-does-not-fit-all/

But neither is much use for Emby, unless there is an Overview text field to add the info.

Also, on your other issue with paragraphs - Emby does work with some limited HTML in the Overview field, so you can manually create paragraphs with a space between them by using <br/> <br/>.

You could also try out <b>bold</b> and <i>italic<i/> for highlighting e.g. Artists or Albums/Songs.

Note: this HTML may or may not work well depending upon which client app you are using. 

Anyway, there's also plenty more music tips on the forum elsewhere. Cheers!
