possible genre labels

[Ben Fields]

Hello group! I'm gathering some station logs via the api to do some
work evaluating automatically generated playlists against actual
playlists used in radio (which in theory at least are selected by
genuine actual humans). I noticed in the api call for stations you
can specify the station genre. It appears this is free text. Is this
correct? Further, is there a way to enumerate all values of the genre
field that have stations? Thanks very much for your help.

cheers

Ben

There's a list of the most common Genre's here:
http://api.yes.com/#chart

It's possible future versions might have more of a free-text style
though :)
