Album Composers that Should Use Initials ListThe Album Composers that Should Use Initials List is a list of classical composers that have same Surname as another composer so when using Add Composers to start of Album Title option we would like to use Initials as well as Surname so we can identify them correctly.

If in list SongKong will automatically add Surname, Initials instead of just Surname when adding them to the album title.

Allowed GenresWhen songs are matched to a Discogs release we check the genres provided by Discogs for that release against the genres listed below, we return only genres that can be found in this list.

The order is important, genres found earlier in the list are returned first, if you want to keep them you should put more specialist genres such as Power pop before more general categories such as Pop. Having found a match SongKong uses that value if that is the only value on the line, but if there is a ; and then a second value it will use that second value, this is useful for mapping multiple similar genres to a single genre.

If no match is found no genres will be added to songs matched to that release.
