thats the whole point - neither takes precedence, I use multiple values. So ALL of my classical music gets the tag "classical". It also gets one of "baroque", "classicalperiod", "romantic", "20thC". Except sometimes for crossover work when it might get two of those. Then its likely to get tagged as one of "symphony", "concerto", "choral" or "chamber". So a Mozart symphony would be "classical;classicalperiod;symphony" and I can browse under any of those genres and find it. Or a Milhaud sonata might be "classical;20thC;chamber;woodwind". The important thing for me was to think about how I want to choose music. Obviously if you know what you want to listen to, you just search for it and play it. But often I don't know - but I do feel like listening to something like... a symphony, or choral, or baroque, or piano. This system lets me do that. Personally I find this works very well, as I get a relatively short list of genres when browsing, but without being constrained by a restrictive classification system.... YMMV! Ideally, of course, I'd like to be able to do a cascaded browse so that having selected "symphony" I could then further browse by period (or conductor, or whatever)... this is the subject of an enhancement request!
