I'm guessing that's because they wisely see these discussion
For historical reasons, a bare number in the genre field is
interpretated as a short cut for one of a short list of "standard"
genres.
It isn't clear what semi-colon support (a non-standard Slim thing) has
done to this support.
You may be tripping over this "feature".

When I look at SlimDevices I see a small but thriving company which has
been around longer than (or simply outlived) pretty much all it's
