You'll drive yourself insane trying to categorize music by genre by a tight set of bound rules.

I agree with you about the tight set of bound rules. The trouble is, I don't even have a loose set of rules let alone a tight set. I'm not exactly that interested in knowing what all 100+ genres mean, but I'd like to know what more than 3 or 4 mean .

I'm not an audiophile by any means, but when you start collecting songs into the thousands, there are distinct differences between the styles of music. I can recognize those differences... that's fine and I'm happy that I can. Organising the music into different groups is fairly easy except that I wish I could give the categories names. I don't know, it just doesn't seem right to pick a random name from the list .

I guess I can live with that... I was just wondering if anyone knew of a place where the intended meanings of all these genres could be determined.
