Does Rockbox support multple genres for one file?

[afruff23]

ID3-TagIT 3 allows you to put more than one genre for ID3 V2 tags(e.g. Aphex Twin-Xtal could be tagged "Electronica" and "IDM"). So would tagcache place it under both Electronica and IDM when browsing by genre?

I'm thinking of doing this as a workaround for smart playlist support(e.g. go to genre "all rock" to have a playlist of songs from multiple rock genres).

Also, does anybody know a tagging program which supports multiple genres? ID3-TagIT 3 only allows you to add multple genres to files one at a time, not for many files.

EDIT: Figured out how to do it with foobar2000.

It probably doesn't create multiple real genre tags. I'm curious what exactly it does though. I think it's unlikely that it will work.

When I open a 2-genre file in foobar2000 it shows up as "Grunge; Rock" under the genre field tag without the quotes. It separates the different genres with a ";". When I open this file in a program which supports only one genre for ID3V2(i.e. Winamp), it only shows it as having one genre: "Grunge".

So... it really has one genre named "Grunge; Rock" (without the quotes).

Read my above edit. If the program supports one genre oly, then it skips the second genre, completely ignoring it.

What does Rockbox do with it, then?

[afruff23]

I'll try it now. I gues I'm just lazy. One sec.

Rockbox only reads the first genre. Off to send a feature request.
