Btw, looking thru the standard square music genre icons that I was using as placeholders, I have a question for the more musically diverse XBMC users out there: There are icons for both "Alternative Rock" & "Alternative". I am probably musically naive but I think of both as the same. Are two new genre images needed or are they the same thing?
And ditto for "Rock n Roll" & "Rock". In my mind those have always been the same. "Rock" just being short for "Rock n Roll".
This is always tricky and very subjective.
I wouldn't call "Alternative" and "Alternative Rock" the same though since there are missing genres like "Alternative Metal" (There's also an image for "Gothic Rock" but none for "Gothic Metal").
Personally I would like certain adjectives to be broken off and be a modifier for the main genre, for example: "Alternative Metal" -> "Alternative" and "Metal", and "Alternative" never used on it's own. But that's not how xbmc handles genres.
