@astippich , @ngraham are you able to test and provide me feedback before Saturday. This is more or less finished and I would like to push it in master before the feature freeze.
You can test the code from the genericModel branch in Elisa repository.

I just gave it a quick try, it does not really seem to work.
-the genre is using the artist icon for the delegates
-clicking a genre shows an empty page

Unfortunately, I won't be able to provide more feedback since I won't have access to my development computer starting tomorrow

Gave this a quick try:

• I have lots of empty genres, but I do have some that have some artists (but not all that should be in that genre)
• The first time I tried it the browse button didn't work for artists, but after going back and forth (and re building) it started working and now I can browse, enqueue and play at any level.
• It feels a bit slower that the rest of the views. At least going genre->artist
• Play and enqueue from inside a genre work, but not when doing it from the icon in the list.

Thanks for the feedback so far. I have fixed some problems. One of them was a wrong size of genre metadata in database. It requires to remove it and index your music again.

I've been having some trouble getting Elisa to run after compilation (qml errors), but I'll try to sort them out and test this. Thanks so much for your hard work getting it done!

Tried this again from Master after nuking my DB. I get more genres (I think) but they are all empty and if I try to play them I get an empty playlist.
