Genres
The Genres view lists every genre in your library with album and song counts. For genres with two or more albums, a 3×3 collage of album covers stands in for genre artwork; single-album genres show that album’s cover full-size.
For navigation, search, multi-select, ratings, and shared right-click actions, see Library Basics. For artwork panel sizing, see Artwork & Performance.
