[BUG] Editing genre does not persist changes to file metadata #695

@bugreporter005

Description

@bugreporter005

Expected Behavior

Edits to the Genre tag (adding/removing individual genres) should be written to the file metadata and remain after saving.

Current Behavior

When editing the Genre tag, changes are shown in the app UI but are not actually written to the file. This happens when adding or removing genres in a sequence. The only way to make edits stick is to completely clear the genre field and re-enter everything from scratch.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Edit the genre field by either:
  • Adding a new genre next to existing ones
  • Removing one genre from the sequence
  1. Save changes.
  2. Re-index your library or check the file metadata with any other tool like ffmpeg.
