Using MP3tag and setting the genre to: Modern\\Orchestral\\Minimalism for Adams' "Short Ride In A Fast Machine" then this album appears under the following individual Genres: Modern, Orchestral & Minimalism.

Thank you for this information. My previous post is clearly wrong, in that you can indeed split a tag just by editing it im MP3Tag, inserting '\\', and saving the edit. I had tried this previously, and it did not seem to work. Your post encouraged me to try again, and it did work.

Adding additional tags does increase the number of browsing steps (as MinimServer shows a browsing icon for any tag in the current selection that has more than one value). This is inherent in the invaluable 'intelligent browsing' feature, but does mean that a trade-off has to be made between the range of choice and the number of browsing steps. That is why I prefer to keep a single Genre tag value; the good news is that MinImServer caters as readily for those who make a different choice.
