Multiple Genre & Library

[Kees van Loenen]

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your thorough investigation (on a Sunday!) around tagging capabilities for all versions of ID3, much appreciated.
About your question around Musicbrainz Picard, GENRE is the only field I always fill in manually using either Pop, Jazz, Classic or Kids. When I open an mp3 with multiple genres the separator is semicolon, just like other programs represent the nullbyte.

I'm running Minimserver on a Synology NAS (213+), an older model. The existing DS Audio Station software is a slow and (much) less configurable compared to Minimserver, however it's capable of handling multipe genres in an MP3 file (id3v2.3). I've only got a couple of MP3 files and will do some further testing converting files to v2.4 and check if they will play on other devices (I read somewhere that v2.4 is not supported by iTunes, but that may be old or incorrect information).

Have a great Sunday and keep up the good work!

Cheers K
