    Why do certain tracks or albums contain only numeric "genre" tags? Example enclosed

    More refining this. Overall everything is excellent.

    Now that I can use the served database as a means to go through the many years of tagging of files, with a view to more standardising, I've noticed that just a few tracks are appearing under the "genre" folder with nothing but numbers?

    Below is a screencap of one entire album. Points to note:

    Having selected all tracks in the tag editor, one sees that "genre" is the same across all tags.

    The tags are ID3v2.4.0, applied to tag2 only.

    Yet this entire album appears under "genre" as simply 159 There's nothing else, just that number. I cannot find anything attached to the file tags that include that number (obviously no BPM or similar). The album tagged is the only instance of the artist in my entire library.

    I have a couple of other loose tracks that appear as 127, and 162 respectively. I can no doubt sort those out once I understand what's going on with the above.

    p.s. I have just deleted and rebuilt the database.
