When ripping a CD, it ends with lines like

Setting artist: Yves Jamait
Setting album: Mon totem
Setting title: Je ne vous dirai pas
Setting genre: 255
eyed3.id3:WARNING: Invalid numeric genre ID: 255
Invalid numeric genre ID: 255
Finished.

I tried without givng category and letting DGENRE=
or setting
CATEGORY=chanson
DGENRE=102

(102 is the code for chanson ine eyed3 --plugin=genres
output).

And some tags for the whole album are not in place.

You can avoid this error by setting
EYED3OPTS="--non-std-genres"
in your /etc/abcde.conf or ~/.abcde.conf

Won't that break the mapping in eyed3 and always store the number abcde
passes a an literal string?

Attached is a patch that skips passing -G if GENREID is 255.
