Thanks for sending the MP3 file. This seems to be a bug in Mp3tag with MP3 files containing ID3v2.3 tags. The multiple genres are concatenated into a single TCON frame, with null separators between them. In ID3v2.3, a null separator indicates the end of the frame value, which is why you are only seeing the first genre in MinimServer. This use of null separators would be valid for an ID3v2.4 TCON frame, but it isn't valid for an ID3v2.3 TCON frame.

You can work around this Mp3tag bug by saving the tag in ID3v2.4 format. In Tools->Options->Tags->Mpeg, select ID3v2.4 UTF-8 instead of ID3v2.3 UTF-16, then save the tag. The file should now work as expected.
