Multiple Genre
I use multiple Genre. MediaMonkey (my music manager software) separates the genres with the semicolon ( ; ). If i give multiple genres to songs like Pop and Blues; then they are shown separate in the Filter Pane "genre" column. (one in Pop an one Blues).
But in the Asset genre list, a new genre is created: "pop; blues"
The song appears neither in pop nor in blues - only in the new genre "pop; blues"
How can i use more genres in one song?

Re: Multiple Genre
For ID3v2 internally the multiple artists should be separated as:
Artist1/Artist2
if it is Artist1; Artist2 then MediaMonkey is just creating its own way of doing it.

Re: Multiple Genre
Multiple Artist works fine - my problem ist the multiple Genre!
I have taken a look at a mp3 File with a HEX-Editor.
The Artists are separated with the "/" , but the Genre are separated with the ";"

Re: Multiple Genre
This is a problem with MediaMonkey then.

Multiple Genre
How do ya send the same PM to multiple recipients? Separate usernames with a comma?

Re: Multiple Genre
The ID3V2.4 standard specifies "All text information frames support multiple strings, stored as a null separated list..."
From my testing (with mp3 files), Mediamonkey is:
1. saving artist "AC/DC" as artist "AC/DC" in the tag. Asset is interpreting that as two separate artists. Asset appears to be in error in this case.
2. saving genre "rock; r&b" as "rock; r&b" in the tag. Asset is interpreting that as one genre. Mediamonkey appears to be in error in this case.
Other MP3 tag editors that I have tested (e.g. mp3tag and foobar2000) do save multiple string frames as a null separated list. These tags are not interpreted by Asset Upnp as containing multiple string frames.

Re: Multiple Genre
Asset will not read id3v2.4, for v2.3 the standard is to use '/' to separate.

Re: Multiple Genre
OK, I'm stumped.
Tried using MP3nity, Tagscanner, MP3Tag, and MPTagThat to write ID3V2.3 tags. Within each application, I tried entering a hard "/", and where I could find it, using the application's method (e.g. MP3Tag uses "\\" to separate genres in the editing dialog box but puts a "/" in the tag itself). Can't get multiple genres out of Asset.
I am missing something? Have you used any of the above taggers with success in this use case? Can you recommend a tagger that can make use of this Asset feature?
Thanks, really like your app!

Re: Multiple Genre
The tag editors might allow the entry of multiples seperated by ';' just for user interaction, if you right click on a file >> Edit ID Tag (dBpoweramp offers this on the right click) then set genre to:
Genre1; Genre2
Asset will read both.

Re: Multiple Genre
I really appreciate your quick response, I know you must be busy.
I tried setting the tags with dbpoweramp (right clicking 'Edit ID Tag", etc.). Still didn't work. I tried separating the genre field with ";", "; " and "/".
My setup is Asset UPnp server, with WDTV Live Plus and/or Foobar as renderers.
Minor peculiarity I noticed:
In dbpoweramp configuration dialog, where you choose to have items listed in IE context menus, if I uncheck the 'Convert to' box and check the 'Edit ID Tag' box, the 'Edit ID Tag" option disappears from the IE context menu. I have to check both boxes in order to get 'Edit ID Tag' to show up in the IE context menu.

Re: Multiple Genre
If you save the multiple genres with dBpoweramp tag editor (Genre1; Genre2) then make sure asset has updated with Refresh (Detecting Changes) in Asset Configuration.
After this run to:
C:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpoweramp\uMediaLibrary-dumpdb.exe
save the file and load into Excel (or equivalent), then look at the file in question, see what it says for genre.

Re: Multiple Genre
Spoon,
Nothing shows up but an empty UMLnn.tmp.txt file. Do I need to run a different command as I'm running Asset UPnP on a WHS box? I know Asset is running because the updated mp3 shows up on my renderers, sadly under one genre still....

Re: Multiple Genre
Install Asset on your PC, then copy the folder (on the ripnas)
C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data\dBpoweramp\uMediaLibrary
to %appdata%\dBpoweramp\uMediaLibrary
on the PC then run the dump db from the PC.
