Just in case anyone else with a ginormous collection is interested in
creating a sub 100K, genre-based library view, SQLite Expert Personal is
a very useful query tool:

http://www.sqliteexpert.com/download.html

Just make a copy of library.db and open it in SQLite Expert.

This query will give you a list of the number of FLAC tracks for each
genre (leave out the "tr.content_type = 'flc' and " part for all file
types or use your preferred type):

select g.namesort, count(tr.id)
from tracks tr, genres g, genre_track gt
where tr.content_type = 'flc'
and tr.id = gt.track
and g.id = gt.genre
group by g.namesort
order by g.namesort

You can then copy and paste the results into a spreadsheet and play with
combinations of genres until you have the one that works best for you.

My spreadsheet has the genre in column a, the count in column b, column
c is blank and this formula entered into the first row of data (starting
on row 6) in column d:

=if(c6>" ",b6,0)

and copied to all the subsequent rows.

I freeze the top row so it doesn't scroll and enter this formula into
B1:

=sum(D6:D150)

Then I can put an "x" in column c to select genres and get the total of
my selections at the top of the sheet.
