Am I doing something wrong?

When I go to update the genre tag in the MP3's that I've downloaded from eMusic, it takes forever to update the genre field.  Name, album, etc. are quick and painless, but genre updates last forever.  It's especially tiresome because as everyone knows, eMusic tends to leave their genre tag blank (or "blues").

Any way to speed up genre updates?

I've got a P4 1.7Ghz 384Mb RAM system.  Most of the files are on another machine but the connection is 100Mb and all other tag updates happen very fast.

I have not noticed this in MJ9, but i also think it has an updated tag writer

I'm using ver. 9 now and it is no different (except that it might actually be a bit worse).
So if you update the genre tag of 50 or 100 songs at a time, it doesn't take forever and lock you out of the program while it's doing it?
I updated about 100 CCR songs from Blues to ROCK using Ver. 9 beta 2, and it took almost 30 minutes until it was done (and i couldn't use MJ during that time).

I'll try to do some tests updating genre tags on local files (rather than via network) to see if there is a big difference or not.

when you update the Genre time it.

then update the same files again with maybe another Genre and time it.

it may have somthing to do with the way it was orginaly taged.

the second time may be faster since MJ should pad the id3v2 tags
