For me it shows Top Artists and Related Genres (if found any in MB DB), as always, where is the problem? Tried, Pop, Rock, Jazz, Folk, Electronic, Disco... |

This is new bug opened based on your comment at 0018971:0067496 so that I can close original bug as it was fixed in 5.0.3 |

OK, we can probably implement some top tracks and top albums. Top artists is already implemented, that is why I was confused. |

I don't quite understand this--it seems to me that 'Online' mode for Genres doesn't actually do anything and should be disabled! e.g. 1 Switch to Genres > Rock [Browser] --> a bunch of content is displayed 2 Click 'Online' --> No content is displayed! EDITED: Further testing shows that the problems appear to be Genre-specific. For instance, certain Genres don't work as expected. e.g. Acoustic, Acoustic Rock, Alternative, Celtic, Classic Rock, don't display any related content. And some Genres, only display Related Genres (and no Artists, Albums, or Tracks) e.g. Big Band (shows Jazz), Blues, ... And some, only display Related Artists (and no related Genres) e.g. Jazz (shows related Artists but not Big Band) I'm not sure whether the problem is that lookups are failing OR that the DB is somehow incomplete (e.g. why would Big Band show Jazz, but Jazz doesn't show Big Band). |

We're using genres from wikipedia and non of the 'Big Band' artists have specified wikipedia page .. where it shows Jazz as a genre for Big Band artist for you ? |

Navigate to Music > Genres > Big Band [Browser:Online] --> MM displays (among other things) 'Related Genres' which contains: Jazz, blues, American marches, Classical Click Jazz --> MM displays (among other things) 'Related Genres' which contains: Blues, ragtime, spirituals, folk Looking at the above, there are 2 oddities: 1) If Big Band is related to jazz, then jazz should be related to Big Band 2) Big Band is related to 'blues' (lowercase), while Jazz is related to 'Blues' (uppercase)--they should both be related to the same Genre with the same case! In fact, cases for the various Related Genres seem to be a mix of upper and lower cases?! Note: One of the causes of the above issue is that auto-tag uses Genres from MusicBrainz which often don't exist within Wikipedia. I'm not sure what the solution to this is. EDIT: if we don't expect any server-side fixes in the short/medium term, we may want to consider disabling online mode for Genres. |

Fixed in build 2621, online mode is now disabled for Genre node, as it is not easy to fix now. It needs improvement of support for this on our MB server side. |
