Specify genre/country for CDs not on MS?

Hello. As many people probably have, i have added some albums to my collection that are by bands that are not featured here on Metal Storm. It looks like there isn't a way to specify the genre and country of these albums so they effect the styles and countries pie charts in your collection page. So i am wondering if it would ever be possible for that feature to be added?

Yeah, but it still will not be included in the stats. I think it's a good idea, adds a little more detail though it is more of a fun fact than a necessity. But still a good idea.

Yeah, I also wanted to say this as a suggestion.. It makes the country and genre percentage and graph, but as Nervel said it's not a necessary feature..

I suggested this a while ago, but don't remember the response. I bet Ivan could just add a drop down box and have the user click on the country.

Adding genre maybe confuse the archives, But adding country is all right.

Yeah the genre would be a little touchy, especially since I've got a small handful of country albums in my collection, and I don't want people to know I listen to country...woops. Having a write-in genre box might not be compatable with the nice little pie charts, and having a drop-down box as pyroleperchaun said would probably be the best idea, but it would be a lot of work adding in some of the non-metal genres...or having an "other" category might work.

And secondly, as someone posted above someone could just make all their albums Black Metal to look cool....though I doubt it really matters anyways.

But as for country I'd say that would be a fantastic idea with no real problems that I can see.

It's a little bit more complicated than that...
