Hi,

I want to simplify my library by having one genre per album. For example any tags with “Different across 13 items” I just want to be one single genre that most matches the album/artist.

> It limits tags to the most used ones, compared to the most used tag. For example you have the following tags assigned: rock: 30 times folk rock: 25 times alternative: 4 times The most used tag is rock, which was assigned 30 times. This is our maximum.
