I disagree that this is fixed, as I wrote in comment #4. I do not see ANY change between 5.10.0-0ubuntu1 and 5.12.0-0ubuntu1. maybe you added some extra mappings of genres. if you did, those genres are not in rhythmbox or banshee.

"""
Most the the listed genre show nothing: blues, country, disco, funk, hip-hop, metal, r&b, soul. Other appears to match: Alternative, World, and Ambient music...three very different genera that I would not ever mix in a playlist. I do not see the general that Banshee (or rhythmbox) shows me: Ambient, Alternative, Indie, Britpop, World

I cannot use the music lens because it is not possible to select a category of music that is in my collection. Other people who my try the lens might believe I have no music, or conclude that I myself must be categorised as "other" because the my music is uncategorisable.

The filters are broken by design. Half the filters match nothing...they should not be active. I should not be permitted to filter to a zero result. The filters could use the genres known to rhythmbox and banshee to inform the user about what is in the collection and encourage the user to filter the results.
