Discogs: consider styles as genre

[ultram4rine]

Proposed solution

Discogs has this genre/style separation:

  "genres": [
    "Electronic"
  ],
  "styles": [
    "House",
    "Disco"
  ],

Beets only sets a genre, but style looks like genre too. Maybe squash them together?

Could this setting by helpful by any chance?

I personally have swapped the meaning of these two fields in my fork and assume that styles are genres while genres stands for style.

What do others think, @JOJ0 / @henry-oberholtzer?

I'd say yes, swapping! I always find Discogs genre too general and for generalization we have lastgenre canonicalization anyway 🤷
