Bug#425113: rhythmbox: Genre nearly useless for Jamendo plugin

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.10.0-3
Severity: wishlist
The Jamendo genre field seems to be completely free-form for the album
author, so in the Genre section of Rhythmbox, it now shows:
"Electro-Dub"
"Electro-dub"
"Electro Dub"
"Electro-dub " (Yes, that's an extra space)
"électro-dub"
for a total of 1748 genres, with many doubles like this. Most genres have
only one artist in it (there are 2178 artists, or about 1.25 artists per
genre).
It would already help a lot if:
- Whitespace was normalized
- Case was ignored
- Characters like - and , would be treated as space.
This would reduce the list above to two.
OTOH, it seems the Jamendo site doesn't do very much with the genre, but
instead uses tags for organizing the albums.
Maybe the Jamendo plugin should use the tags instead of the genre?
