Code:

@GENRE=Classical
@GENRE=Opera
+OPERASICAL=1

indexTags: OPERASICAL=1:ClassicalOROpera

This basically create a virtual (within MinimServer) tag called OPERASICAL with a value of 1 for every file that has a genre tag of 'Classical' or 'Opera'.

tagUpdate is indeed a very clever tool. That's what allows me to have the choice of Classical or Non-Classical in the top menu of MinimServer (these are the only Genre values I use, with everything else being in Sub-Genre). This saves a keystroke, as I no longer need to first select Genre followed by my specific choice of Genre.

Quite often, I don't bother to select a Sub-Genre (such as chamber, orchestral, vocal/choral, etc), especially if I want to see all my recordings for a specified composer.
