csv file header typos
#1
I was importing a csv file that had as one of the headers "genre".  Notice the lack of an s there.

The program cheerfully proceeded to import that csv file and ignore the column named genre.  I discovered my error upon reviewing the imported files and wondering where the genre went.

It would be nice, when finding a column named something that it doesn't understand, to say something like "unrecognized header name whatever-it-is, would you like to proceed anyway?  Yes/No"

That would be nice.

My workaround: I try to assign all of the songs in a CSV file to a unique collection or album. This allows me to do some quality control checking after import (check that all metadata is present for a sampling of songs, page through the whole file and make sure the page ranges for each song are correct, etc.) If I find errors I can select all of the songs in the unique collection or album and delete them from the library. Then I can fix the csv file, save it, and then reimport.
