I don't want to get involved in the minutae of database structures as
that is not my speciality, however if you want to discuss underseas
telecommunication I shall chip in.

Getting to the point about multiple genres, I have a large number
(1000s) of tracks that have multiple genres as shown in the following
example (not all tags included):-

J S Bach - Great Organ Works - Toccata & Fugue - BWV 538
Genres - Classical,Organ,Instrumental

In this way I can play random classical music and still get this piece
and all other classical, alternatively I can specify instrumental and
get this as well as other single instrument pieces or I can be very
specific and just listen to organ music, it all depends on the mood I
am in.

Perhaps I am in the minority!

just my 0.02....FWIW
