Apple tagging appears to include two genre methods.

1) "gnre" field, which is a number equal to the id3v1 index + 1.  Includes=
=20
many popular genres, such as rock, jazz, pop, classical, etc.

2) "=A9gen" field, which is any string you want as a genre.  Includes=20
anything at all.

Are you saying that EphPod works with the second method, and would rather=20
not use the first?
