Multiple Genres & Sub-genres

[AndyOneBeard]

Hi there, I feel sure this has been used before, but I'm struggling to get genres, specifically sub-genres within single albums, working correctly.

For example, I have a copy of Finley Quaye: Maverick A Strike which has no singular genre reference; it is listed under Discogs as 'funk, electronic, reggae, dub'. Ideally I would like to list it mainly under a singular heading of 'electronic' but then have sub-genres of 'dub' and 'funk', but I'm struggling to know how to prioritise a main heading with sub-genres underneath?

To date I have used Metadatics tagging s/w to add multiple tags within 'Genre' with no delimiters required. This works, but only in so much as it lists the same Finley Quaye album under all separate 'funk, electronic, reggae, dub' genre headings. I can find see no way to add a sub-genre field to Metadatics and similarly I can see no way to get Minimserver to 'stack' sub-genres under a singular main genre heading?

Is this possible and am I missing something obvious?

This would be particularly useful with electronic music where sub-genres such as 'ambient', 'downtempo', 'dub' etc. is actually very common.

Any help of advice is greatly appreciated.
