For the most part, I am not interested in tags. It is genres that hold the key for me.
For example, Pinocchio would be in the genre "Children's Fiction", but it would have tags such as "puppet, big nose, liar, carpenter, Jimminy Cricket, etc".
Does anybody know of a site where you can obtain genres in the same way that downloading metadata bombards you with multi-millions of tags?

I'm not sure if the feature dwanthny mentions will be in .8, but Overdrive will likely be a metadata source at that point, and they keep a strict list of Genres. I've got it working locally on my machine for metadata, but due to the way Metadata download works in the .7.x series it will need to wait until .8.
By the way, those of you looking for simple ways to delete the tags, there is an easier way. Open up the Tag Browser panel, then right click on the top level of 'tags'. Select 'Manage Tags', and you can delete/rename to your heart's content.
