What is the differance between Techno and electronic? Also, what is the differance between electronic music and electronica? (Electronic with an A at the end.) If there isn’t a difference between electronic and electronica, why do they use both? My MP3 player is getting cluttered with "Techno" "Electronic" "General electronic" and "Electronica" all by the same artist, and I’m just wondering why they are all different.

Electronic Music (or sometimes known as Electronic Dance Music, EDM) is a term used to identify any music using electronic music instruments or technology. Electronic Music is the main genre and everything else are sub-genres. Usually Electronic is not used to describe a single song unless it combines the characteristics of many sub-genres, but I think iTunes and other music players are a bit stupid with the automatic genres they put on. It’s best to edit and put what you want on so it’s not all cluttered.
Electronica is a sub-genre of Electronic. It’s used to identify newer, contemporary music or crossover genres (folktronica, indietronica, funktronica etc). It usually combines different instruments that are not all electronic, with electronic instruments.
Techno is a bit different. Techno is also sub-genre of Electronic. The beats are harder and heavier, and the music is very high-tempo. I think it’s quite easy to identify Techno music by the sound. Scooter are an example band.
