Re: [Easytag-mailing] multiple genres for a song

[Tri Le <trile7 gmail com>]

Hi Johnny,

Thanks for the quick response.  I apologize for repeating the same question here but I wasn't able to find anything on this topic.  I use gmusicbrowser and it handles multiples genres quite nice.  Do you know what program to use to tag mp3 files with multiple genres?  I try id3tag but it only write one genre.

Thanks,

Tri

Is there a way to add multiple genres to a song?

Thanks,

Someone asked that very recently and I replied that I didn't think that was possible with EasyTAG or any other TAG programs that I've heard of. Personally I do it with a script, but the problems is that I didn't find any media players that can read it properly.

If you are into scripting, you could write a bash script for writing multiple anything to your files if they are FLAC files at least. You need to install the FLAC package for that and use METAFLAC for writing and extracting tags.

FLAC itself supports multiple tags of any kind and you are encouraged to use multiple tags rather than entering a lot of stuff into the same tag, for example the ARTIST tag. FLAC files use the Vorbis tags which are the same as for OGG Vorbis files. If this is supported in other formats, such as MP3 and AAC, I don't know.
