Change some genres

Open elyaB opened this issue 6 years ago • 6 comments

We need to change some genre otherwise it will be very complicated to find what we are looking for :

  • english-jazz => jazz
  • english-rock => rock
  • english-rap => rap
  • english-pop => pop

english-rap and spanish-rap would be in the same folders for example. This way, it would be so much simplier.

(Just imagine if we were going to add a new genre for every language !)

I wonder for the reggaeton. We can think of an architecture of sub genres. We could do it this way :

  • reggaeton |_ reggaeton-new.md |_ reggaeton-oldschool.md

I've already done it, I just wait for someone to tell me "Ok !"

@elyaB I like your architecture, the genres are a lot now, we must to organized them.

Should we have one more level for languages itself? Folder will be names as /language/genre/genre.md

No, it would create the same problem as before ! I'll take an exemple. The user knows what genre he wants to listen to. He doesn't know which language he wants. If we do like this : language/genre/genre.md The user would have to look at every language. We can have like 50 different languages, it would be awful. If we do as this : genre/language/language.md The user would only have to go through his desire genre, then look at all the languages.

If you ask me, I already find it odd to classify by languages. I mean, these are the same genres. When I'm looking for music, I'm looking for a specific genre, not a language. Spotify playlists, for example, are made by genres, not languages.

Like, if you take classical music, do you classify it as "Hungarian Classical" and "German Classical" ? Even though it has no lyrics ? We don't want to go down the rabbit hole of classifying by languages.

Sure, whatever works for majority is fine.

@elyaB You're right. At the beginning We only have a couple of genres, now there are a lot of list.
