You're right... (and IMHO, overcategorizing music is bad) -- of 
course, you can probably notice the differences between jazz and black 
metal, but then... all those subcategories of, for example, metal 
and all the other music, I wouldn't use them when tagging my music.

Though I haven't yet seen use of the "Genre" tag in mp3/ogg anywhere.
