Should I set the main Subject field to a different data type?

Sorry, can't visualize what you are saying. Can you type little example?

datdude:
No, but I can't even get that to work.

Right now it just shows

Genre
  [Genre]

I would like it to show:

Rock
  Alternative
  Punk
  etc...

I should have been clearer in my tips. Do not enter the quotes around my example expressions. To achieve what you want, select all your files and fill Subject with "=Genre\[Genre]\[Style]" or "=[Genre]\[Style]" if you do not want the Genre header.

datdude:
Ok here is something that is confusing, you say to make a new field, but of what data type?  Then you say to enter in an expression as its value, I selected all my files and did that in the Tag AW and I get the results I posted above.  It's like it doesn't understand that I am referring to specific fields and just treats it as a string, so maybe I am not entering in the expression in the right spot?

datdude:
I get the same results without the quotes.  It does nest though, just doesn't populate with the data! Very strange...
