I would like to tag a lot of my music in multiple genres i.e. rock, jam bands, whatever.  I tried separating each genre with a comma, but that just creates a new genre with the 2 or 3 genres.  So, as an example, in case I wasn't clear:  Lets say I want to tag a Grateful Dead track in rock, grateful dead, bluegrass, how do I do that so the same track shows up in each genre, as opposed to creating a new genre (rock, grateful dead, bluegrass)?

Use a semi-colon ; as the delimiter ..

I knew it had to be something simple.  Thank you.

I have been trying to do the same with albums with multiple artists - ex: Pancho and Lefty, where I listed the artists as Merle Haggard; Willie Nelson

In the Artists list the album showed up under the heading Merle Haggard; Willie Nelson, but the album does not show up under the individual artists.

What am I doing wrong?

The Artist field isn't a list field by default. You'll need to create an expressions field (i.e. Artists) and add the following

Code: [Select]

[Artist]&datatype=[list]
Use the new field in place of the Artist field to display it as a list, but continue entering data in the Artist field

221bBs, thank you! I'll admit to being lazy and not properly researching this. Your suggestion is exactly what I have been after.  Thanks again.
