Table 1: Film Genres

All film genres have an Apple genre code. An attribute named code must be used with the <genre> tag to supply the Apple genre code. Standardizing on the Apple genre codes reduces errors resulting from typos. If you have a typo when using the code, the package submission fails. You can correct the code and re-deliver.

The code attribute is required.

Note: You must provide the genre code exactly as displayed in the Apple Genre Code column below. The AMG IDs are given in case they are useful when identifying or mapping to the appropriate genre. AMG Genre IDs are not accepted as genre codes.
