Override Qobuz metadata?

The metadata in Qobuz is often deficient. Sometimes the genre is completely off, with classical music tagged as pop music, spelling of composers is inconsistent, etc. It would be very useful to be able to override the Qobuz metadata as obviously we cannot edit it directly. Would an override option be feasible? This may also be useful to overcome the very problematic non-indexation (and therefore invisibility in searches) of albums imported into the library (as opposed to imported individual tracks).

It's a topic that has been on the feature request site for quite awhile, essentially applying 'local tags' to streaming sources. It should still be open there as a topic, but is not something in the immediate pipeline from what i can tell - I would need to check with development how difficult this is on a technical level. It would also be useful in the case of TIDAL which actually comes with no genre information at all.

Indeed! I added a comment there as it seems to me to be related to the work on the Classical Music mode. Both are essentially about how metadata is used in Sense, and the Classical Music mode would be less useful if it cannot be used for Qobuz albums (and I assume other streaming services)...
