Multiple GENRE tags

[andreas]

I've been using Minimserver for quite a while now and have no plans of going back to Twonky.

I have one problem though that I can not solve. When tagging classical music I would like to have multiple GENRE tags, for example one "Classical" and one "Renaissance", for a record. Minimserver will of course handle this, but since I need to make my music library available for other servers as well (Sonos, Twonky and Squeezeserver) who will not handle multiple GENRE values this is not a solution. In Minimserver 0.52 this could be solved by adding a STYLE tag. For a track the GENRE could be "Classical" and the STYLE tag "Renaissance". I then just added
@STYLE=Renaissance
+GENRE=Renaissance
to the tag update file and the problem was solved. I, using Minimserver, got nice tagging without breaking anything for the other users of the same library.

In the later versions of Minimserver, this approach no longer works, and I can not find any other way of doing this. The problem seems to be the first line in the tag update file, "@STYLE=Renaissance" is not recognized and therefore the GENRE tag is never updated.
@COMPOSER=Johannes Ockeghem
+GENRE=Renaissance
works perfectly, so I guess it must be the STYLE tag that is causing the problem. But why?
