I searched the forum for the term "genres" (possibly should have search in singular as well), and did not see a solution to this. I suppose if no one has done it yet, that I could have it custom coded. Anyway, I would like to limit the genres that can be entered for songs upload upload or edit, so I would need to add a drop-down list for genre entry instead of displaying a text field where the artists enter whatever they choose. Is this possible already in Jamroom without custom coding?

Thank you.

Yes - Use the Form Designer.
As master admin, go to the create audio (or video?) form then click on the Form Designer button (top right).
Select the audio_genre field then change its type to a 'select' field.
Then, enter the list of genres (one per line) for its options.
Then do the same for the update audio (and video?) form.
Hope that helps
