How exactly is the genre of a song determined? It would help to add this to the README.

Looks like the code gets the genres of the album, then those of the artist, then picks the first from that list that's not "unclassified".

However, I haven't seen the Spotify API return the genre of any album I've thrown at it, including extremely popular ones like Queen - Greatest Hits, Brian Adams - Cuts Like a Knife, Massive Attack - Mezannine or Protection etc.

I was not sufficiently familiar with the project to make an accurate PR when I submitted this issue a year ago, and now I'm even less so.
