Store genres from MusicBrainz
Next release of MusicBrainz will have genre support. An example can be seen at https://beta.musicbrainz.org/release-group/3bd76d40-7f0e-36b7-9348-91a33afee20e (JSON web service output: https://beta.musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release-group/3bd76d40-7f0e-36b7-9348-91a33afee20e?fmt=json&inc=genres )
Should whipper try and get these genres and save them during the rip? Or is that too much bloat?
As a user, I think that is too much bloat. Genres are quite subjective, especially in contrast to all other data MusicBrainz provides (release dates, authors, titles, etc.). I think this is best left to a third-party tagger, such as Picard which can efficiently work with MusicBrainz data.
I think it would be a neat feature to have. It probably won't add that much code. Don't feel strongly about it, but genres being subjective is not something that worries me that much.
