Multi genre tags support
Posted: 09 Feb 2016, 15:20
Hello,
I've a request on multi genre tags support.
For id3v2.4 for mp3 and vorbis comment for ogg/flac files allows and encourage multi tags.
As an example here is a quotation from vorbis comment header specification :
As far as I know, only a few players support multi genre tags. So to circumvent this issues, users tag with only one genre tag with all genres separated with a separator, for example
In Madsonic,and client apps, the mixing of genre is not supported, so for example, if a song A is tagged
and an other song B is tagged
it will results in two genre "Electronic" and "Electronic, Deep House". Song B will NOT be available under tag "Electronic" alone. So if I start a playlist under "Electronic" tag I will never have Song B available...
However, the logic would like two separate genres in this case : Electronic and Deep House. I could find Song A and B under "Electronic" and Song B under "Deep House".
That's the philosophy behind multi genre tags support and it would be great if it was implmented in Madsonic..

So, following this tagging rules, the files could have several genre tags, for exampleField names are not required to be unique (occur once) within a comment header. As an example, assume a track was recorded by three well know artists; the following is permissible, and encouraged:
ARTIST=Dizzy Gillespie
ARTIST=Sonny Rollins
ARTIST=Sonny Stitt
Code: Select all
GENRE=Electronic
GENRE=House
GENRE=Deep House
Code: Select all
GENRE=Electronic, House, Deep House
Code: Select all
GENRE=Electronic
Code: Select all
GENRE=Electronic, Deep House
