Multiple Genre Options

[yester64]

Howdy,
i really think Multiple Genre should be included since some Interprets apply to different genres and not only one.
Not sure if that's already on a list, but if not it should be included

Use a semi-colon to separate genres in the Genre field.

e.g.
Jazz; Swing

Does not do the job.
If i want to select the genre, it does it not display. It only works for once genre.

How are you selecting it? What version of MM are you using?

The same track will appear once in the each Genre node.

[yester64]

That was quick

yes, i did indeed select the genre. I entered it like this in the field > hardrock; heavymetal; etc.
I use 3.03.

If Mediamonkey can do that already, that would be great.

MM already parses multi values for the genre field as spacefish indicated. What makes you think it isn't working correctly?

[yester64]

mm... why does it not work for my
it did not show a band in all the genre i selected.

ok, perhaps i entered it wrong for some reason. So how do i do it the correct way?

genre; genre; genre;

like this?

That's the correct format, yes, though I wouldn't add the last ; at the end.

i.e. if I have a track with a genre of: Alternative; Rock
it will show up under the "Alternative" genre as well as the "Rock" genre.

ok, try this out. Perhaps my last ; was the problem. )

I just wanted to say that I think that using the semi-colon to designate multiple classification possibilities is F*CKING BRILLIANT and should immediately be adopted by all media players as an ISO standard. It's such a load off my mind, not having to decide where I'm going to classify an artist who is "on the fence" as far as musical styles.
