This is why I end up using the unsupported Dynamic Mix plugin most of
the time, instead of Random Mix. The plugin allows you to exclude
certain genres from the mix, even when files have multiple genre tags,
some of which might be included in the mix. I don't know of any way to
achieve this with Random Mix. The option to exclude genres in Advanced
Search does not work this way; when files have multiple genre tags, they
are excluded only if all their genre tags are in the list.

It's probably possible to work around this limitation with custom SQL,
but I've never managed to grasp that, even though some knowledgeable
people have tried to help me.
