I have, but my genre's don't follow a nice solid standard, so they are
kinda long and messy as well :)  Genre's are normally very long though,
2-3 words max, and generally short, like 'country' or 'rock' or 'rhythm
and blues', so it could probably stay sandwiched between artist and
album.  As you said, showing it in the browser is a user choice.
