I'd like to create a new field "Labels" that's a list-type concatenation of "Genre" + "Keywords" so I can then create a view on the left that categorizes all my music by non-duplicative labels

However, I haven't been able to figure out how to do this.  When I create a new Labels field with the calculated value:

[Genre];[Keywords]

...it looks fine, until I then create a new list view, and then I get a list like:

Dance;a cappella;Spanish
Dance;a cappella;
Dance;French

Instead of what I'd like to see, which is:

A cappella
Dance
French
Spanish

Any ideas?  Thanks!

Only a workaround, but:

Make your calculated field: "[Genre];[Keywords]"
Create a second field and set it to list.
Periodically select all your files, choose Move/Copy Fields and copy the contents of field A to field B.

That's the only way I've been able to combine multiple fields and still have it display properly as a list. It requires maintenance, but will do what you want it to do. It would be great if we had the option to set fields as both Calculated AND Semicolon delimited lists

Aw, bummer that it's not possible to do without a workaround... but thank you for the thoughtful idea!
