Anyone know of an A.I tool to tag and sort songs by Genre?

Just was curious if anyone has discovered an A.I tool that can identify songs by genre and then create folders or playlists for them?

I have around 400 UKG songs downloaded and I'd like to sort them by style (UKG, Speed Garage, etc.) without having to relisten to all 400 of them of lol.

Thanks!

    The only aspect of such a thing that would be considered AI would in be the classification of individual songs, but someone would need to teach the AI how to identify such things. Someone may eventually do it, but I suspect it will probably not be a "free" service and I'd suspect it would take a pretty long time to differentiate genres accurately as there are tons of cross genre styles.

    Seen this discussed on a lot of forums over the years and it always ends in the same consensus, what you hear as one genre is not what someone else will hear so it may miss the mark a lot. Sometimes the overall album is what dictates the genre class more than the actual style of an individual song. There are some ways using discogs or musicbrainz integrations with something like MP3Tag but the results are often less than perfect just because a lot of songs have strange genre classes to them.

    400 songs is not much at all, man people just want shortcuts for everything these days. AI will lead to a lot of lazy and unskilled existences in the future that is for sure. Sometimes skill is built through the process of solving a problem.

    When I digitized all my CDs and records (and other acquired tracks) with maybe 200,000 files many had no genre or year and wanting to auto generate smart playlists in Serato to sort things I needed metadata in these files. MP3 Tag was used to get some of it but I also had to create a lookup script so I could literally just step through each song on a compilation album for instance, lookup the track on discogs and detect the earliest release of that track and the genre and assign it. It was part automated and part manual and took months of part time slogging through a collection.

    400 songs would have been a few hours manual work, get started and lookup the songs and tag them, u'll be done in no time
