This helps a lot because I actually wasn't aware of this limitation, so I originally thought it would be a bit more simple to specify separate indexTags for the different values I have for CATEGORY, and have a top-level option to browse directly into them.

But from there, I can try your idea of using tagUpdate to give all files in my collection the virtual tags.

I'm wondering if it would also be possible to extend the tagUpdate idea and add more choices, something like:

@Category=Soundtrack
+CATEGORY_SOUNDTRACK=Soundtrack

@Category=ETC
+CATEGORY_ETC=Etc

and so on

then add:

indexTags=CATEGORY_SOUNDTRACK=Soundtrack:Soundtrack Collection, CATEGORY_ETC=Etc:Etc Collection, and so on

Thanks a lot for the help

Edit:

So I was able to use tagUpdate to assign various CATEGORY values to new fields such as CATEGORY_SOUNDTRACK, and then add those new fields to indexTags. Great!

The only thing left is that I wasn't able to assign a default value to the files with no CATEGORY value.

I have it set up like this:

tagValue=Category.default={DEFAULT_CATEGORY_CONSTANT}

with this in my tagupdate.txt:

@#AUDIOFORMAT=FLAC
@#AUDIOFORMAT=a few other formats
+DEFAULT_CATEGORY_CONSTANT=Default

But so far, "Default" isn't showing up in the list of categories.
