flyingdutchman Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I suspect what may be happening is that pa updates its own database but not the tags on the track itself. This would explain why you see it in pa and not in others. Andre can probably provide a definitive answer.

flyingdutchman Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Just to confirm, this is related to mp3 tracks or another format such as flac or m4a?

flyingdutchman Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 On a pc, use a neat little utility called FileTagSleuth, This is able to read ID2 and Id1 tags. This should clearly show the values of "genre". Alternatively, on android there are many mp3 taggers which would also help. I use audiotagger to check/update tags. Experiment with pa and check with one of these tag utilities to see if the value(s) have changed.
