Grace note support for PREMIUM users as well as a bunch of new library management options.

Not a huge difference but the genres are better and the results are more consistent.

You need to have plexpass and create a new library to make use of the grace note functions.

Honestly that's the main thing I was hoping they'd improve

Not that I get super picky but sometimes I go through my collection for specific genres and get some mismatched tags or tags that aren't granular enough.

I mean there are days when I just want to listen to classic rock n' roll and there are OTHER days where i want to listen to Rockabilly and there are other days when I want to listen to metal but there are few days where I want all 3 in the same search / playlist.

Well if you are willing to re- create the library and to a full scan this should help.... They allow three levels of genre granularity for import in the Premium mode... It seems much better than the current last.fm one

Yeah I have no problem with that. I'm planning on rebuilding a new drive array soon so I'll be rebuilding my library definitions again

When you created the new library make note of the Genre level, it has some interesting levels of detail.

    None
    Coarse (10 genres)
    Medium (75 genres)
    Fine (500 genres)
