I have a collection of classical recordings and when tagging I use genres such as Liturgical, Early, Opera etc. Often a piece falls into more than one genre and I want to find it under all which are tagged. I understand that minimserver can handle multiple genres but have never found a way to make this work. How should I enter tag for a track which is both early and liturgical if for example I want to find it when searching under either early or liturgical?

Which tagging program are you using?

Hi Simon,
Many thanks for the reply. I use either EasyTAG or Puddletag. I preferred EasyTAG but ran into difficulty with .mp4 files so switched to Puddletag a while ago, which has similar functionality to Mp3Tag. Still have many hundreds of files to improve tags and will use whichever you recommend although it would be good if I could continue to use either with respect to genre tagging.

BTW in returning here I took chance to read up a bit on tagging and things have moved on it seems. I shall post separately to ask how best to deal with operas spreading over 2 or 3 CDs. At present I re-number tracks by hand when tagging and put all tracks into one directory as the split between CDs is not relevant. This is also because I sometimes browse by folder rather than using filters and I have been ignorant on the capabilities of your software wrt multi Cds. More reading to do before I ask for help but if you could tell me where to start reading I would much appreciate it.

Regards,
Budgie
