Notes

• Choosing the ‘force’ option will remove the need for prompts, but will also avoid making changes where a choice is ambiguous. If you want to disambiguate topics but skip other confirmations, use the ‘force save’ option.

• The ‘missing only’ option is available for only expanding tags with missing genre metadata, preventing overwrites of existing genres.
