But when I navigate my genre list I find that some of the tracks are showing up as "Folk" and some as "(80)Folk". I think I get similar behavior for Bluegrass. I guess this has to do with the use of numerical genre codes? (I have a mixture of flac and mp3 and so it's possible that all the mp3 are showing up under the one heading and the flac under the other. I didn't have time to investigate further.)

I don't want to see numerical genre codes, so I'm wondering what the solution is. Is this a tagging problem? Or is it a server setting problem?

For a file with an ID3v2.3 tag, the TCON frame value "(80)Folk" will be accepted by MinimServer as the genre "Folk", as defined by the ID3v2.3 specification. If you are seeing "(80)Folk" in MinimServer's list of genres, this suggests you have the genre value "(80)Folk" in some files that don't use ID3v2.3 tags. This would be a tagging problem.
