I've been using multiple genre names in a single GENRE tag with a separator. One of the downsides is that MusicIP does not understand separators, so if you have a "no Christmas music" filter, it'll only work to filter out tracks that have a single element in the genre tag: "Christmas", as MuicIP sees Christmas;Jazz as the genre "Christmas;Jazz" - and that's not a match.
It turns out that it's really easy to convert separated labels in a single tag to multiple tags with MP3Tag. Go to \Convert\Actions, create a new action group. Add a new action in that group, pick the action "split fields by separator", enter tag "GENRE" and the separator you've been using. Click OK, then make sure the checkbox to the left of your new action group is checked, and clicking 'OK' will tun it against any tracks you've selected. You can do entire directories recursively. SBS appears to do fine with multiple genre tags. MusicIP does, well, almost fine. First off, the current (last) version (1.9 beta) does NOT clobber any of the multiple tags when archiving analysis. (Yes, an earlier version had an issue, which is why I'm only getting back to multiple tags now). -However- it only sees the first tag, so if you've got a MusicIP filter, make sure you've arranged the tags to the one you're filtering on comes first. If you have a lot of tags to swap, it'll probably be easier to do it while they're in a single tag. So... a slight bit of extra functionality out of a defunct product. Hope this helps somebody. I sure wish Logitech would just buy/licence the MusicIP tech and incorporate it into SBS so everybody gets to enjoy it. -- bobkoure ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86383 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
