RE: id3v2.3 multiple genres?
Hm, okay. It sounds like to support multiple genres on ID3v2.3, I'll need to put some sort of lookup table in my conversion script to detect genres with the same name as ID3v1 genres, replace them with the ID3v1 number, shuffle them to the front, and pray that there's only ever one free-text genre that's not in the ID3v1 list. I may just punt on this idea for now. It's pretty bonus round for me, and the genre tag is kind of a subjective wasteland anyway.

I'd love to switch to ID3v2.4, but I'm kind of stuck since some of my non-DLNA devices only read ID3v2.3. The biggest sticking point is my wife, who uses WMP and refuses to use anything but folder navigation, and so doesn't go through the server. I'll get her converted over eventually. Smile

Thanks for the help, Simon!
