Maybe you're missing something, but more likely I'm misunderstanding
what the setting does. 

Let's take an example. In one of my holiday compilations I have Louis
Armstrong's "'Zat You Santa Claus?". The tags include [Artist=Louis
Armstrong], [Album=Christmas 1988], and [Genre=Holiday]. It's
identified as a compilation album. I also have other Louis Armstrong
albums that are not compilations, and all the tracks have [Artist=Louis
Armstrong] and [Genre=Jazz].  Now if I *don't* filter genres at album
and track level, I would expect to end up with the other, non-holiday,
Satchmo tracks being displayed even though I was browsing under the
Holiday genre.

What I don't understand is why compilation albums where *none* of the
artists have *any* tracks with Genre=Holiday are showing up when I
browse by genre under Holiday. What is the connection that makes the "8
Mile" soundtrack show up when browsing the Holiday genre?

As an aside, I have not been filtering tracks or albums by genre
because sometimes it's fun to follow an artists "trail" that picks up
the range of different styles or genres that she/he plays, or are badly
categorized by my genre tags.
