I completely disagree with you. It clearly says above the checkboxes "Genres to include in your mix:". This does not mean that an unticked box excludes that genre, it merely doesn't include it. I would hate seeing the current behaviour changed. I have many crossover albums that fit in two genres, eg. Rap;Jazz. I want these albums to be included in the mix if one of its genres is selected. If the behaviour was changed according to your suggestion an album tagged this way would probably never be played because it will not be in the mix if only one of its genres is ticked. Despite matching the selection criteria it would be excluded! If a checkbox is ticked all tracks containing that genre must be eligible for playing. This is actually the same behaviour if you have a song tagged with two artists A and B: If you play all songs by artist A all songs will be played, including songs together with artist B. Your concept applied to artists would mean that choosing all songs by artist A would not play the songs with artist A and artist B.
