I'm still transferring music to my new toy and a CD of bluegrass from the Oxford American magazine got listed as Alternative/Punk. I've decided to reclassify it for obvious reasons, but Bluegrass isn't a choice. Would you stick it under Country or Folk?
Folk... with out even batting an eyelash...
Posted by: blair at January 31, 2006 04:06 PMI second the vote for folk as a kneejerk reaction.
Posted by: ninaradio at January 31, 2006 06:23 PMI concur.
Posted by: earth girl at January 31, 2006 09:42 PMI would choose custom and create Bluegrass as a category.
Posted by: George at February 1, 2006 05:09 AMActually, you don't even have to head to custom. If you just type it in, my version of Itunes will simply accept it as a new category. I still haven't figured out how to delete categories, which I'd like to do for things like Ska and Electronica.

Posted by: Twilightmama at February 2, 2006 07:07 AMThe folk v country depends on a few things. Was it recorded in Nashville? Did the musicians wear boots or Birkenstocks? Was the break beverage cola, regular coffee or beer or white wine and lattes?
You can’t be too careful about these things.
