Sub-genres or Multiple genres
« on: August 31, 2003, 11:05:30 am »

i don't know if anyone else has noticed that most music can not be put in 1 genre. it would be a great feature if Media Center 9x supported a sub or multi-genres tag.

Example:

Electronica\
      Downtempo\
                 Breaks

so if a one searched your media center for a certain sound they would find an artist under different genres.

The field is not there until you add it to your library: Tools/Options/Tree & View Settings/Library Fields. It doesn't have to be called Genre2, it can be called anything you want.

...And if you set it up as a semicolon delimited list you can specify as many sub genres against one song as you like.

Some more people had suggestions in this thread:

I'm just starting to play with it now, am not sure whether I want to create sub genre's or moods yet.  I'll figure something out.
