| Summary | 0000683: Support for multiple-definition fields (genres) | ||||
| Description | User requested support for multiple genres. I would suggest that the easiest way to implement this is to allow the user to enter multiple genres in the genre field and separate them with commas (e.g. Latin, Rock). These should be stored in the DB and in tags as 2 independent genres associated with the track in question. When browsing by 'Genre' the track would appear under the Genre: Latin, as well as under the Genre:Rock. In addition, a Genre of Latin, Rock (=Rock, Latin) would be shown, containing the track as well. Similarly, a search for genre=Latin would return this track. From a tag perspective, this should not be a problem since both OGG and MP3 id3 support multiple genre attributes. The only aspect I'm unsure of is what to do if the user wants to use auto-rename based on Genre when multiple Genres are used. | ||||

In the event of multiple genres, for auto-rename, I'd suggest <genre> = genre1-genre2-genrex (i.e. contantenate them) OR use the first genre. edited on: 08-25-04 22:44 |

Multiple Genres/Artists Test Matrix: -Properties dialog (separated by ;) -Tracklist: separated by ; -Tree: a track could appear in multiple artists/genres -Tree: d&d drags by default & copies to a second artist/genre if <ctrl> is pressed -Quicksearch: should return results -Advanced search: use a checkable list instead of a dropdown -Advanced search: find combination & not single Genre (e.g. Rock;Children but not Children)) -Find more from same: support for multiple artists/genres (in hieararchy) -Synch: to an iPod |
