Add genre to song

[sorianog]

@Byorun This is a work in progress PR. I would like your comments on what should be added/changed. I am new to the language, so any pointers are welcome!

Attempts to partially address Issue #12

[Byorun]

that is a good start, but i would add the genre to the song table since it will always be the same even if the author updates the song.

[sorianog]

Sounds good. Made the change.

[Byorun]

now you need a list of genres and a way to select one in the upload/edit process

[sorianog]

Do we want a list of genre's or have the user fill it in themselves?

I will be easier to search if the list is fix (maybe stored in the database)

Trying to research the best genres to include and found this article (data from 2015): https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2016/04/07/most-popular-music-genres-america/
Saw a 2017 report with the same genres in that article (data from the same company, Nielsen Music). That would be 11 genres to start off with.

@sorianog Someone from Discord mention the LastFM API

Unfortunately musicbrainz doesn't have genres yet https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Genre
But if we want to go the tag route, musicbrainz does have those

But theaudiodb does have a genre but doesn't seem to have an endpoint for that https://www.theaudiodb.com/api_guide.php

@razzeee Feel free to pick up this PR if you want. I can't get php to work on my Windows machine. Might have to go to a VM route...

[razzeee]

@sorianog sounds like #19 might help you?

anyway, haven't done php/laravel for two years, not sure I want to go back

[razzeee]

Here's how I would do the storage. razzeee@a4a379f

It's untested so far, but should work in theory. But has no frontend and no api integration.
