RE: Formatting Genre String
I think iTunes can write ID3v2.4 but I've seen many posts about how it's corrupted the tags, so I think moving away from iTunes can only be a good thing.

I'm not sure whether you're saying that MusicBee is converting your existing tags to 2.4, or whether it has the capability to write them, but I'd be very careful about moving to ID3v2.4 unless you know that all your players support it.
As a standard it was published around 2000 but there are still many players out there that don't support it fully e.g. Sonos doesn't support embedded album art in v2.4!

Personally I'd definetly go with 2.4 so I could get full MinimServer functionality, but bear in mind you may need some workarounds for other players e.g. keeping folder.jpg in the root of the album directory for Sonos.

Hope I haven't muddied the waters too much.
