The Library in moOde is designed assuming there is only one occurrence of a given tag.
Why? Most Media servers can deal with multiple genre values, even rather old ones like Twonky which I ran for a long time, but also Plex and Emby.
Also mpd works perfectly as you can prove with mpc. (And I thought the Moode player is using mpd as library under the hood and is working as an mpd client?)
Quote:This is the most common tagging scheme.
Inventing a decent genre categories scheme and tagging an existing library with a quite huge number of albums ist a big effort which probably a lot of people rather avoid.
The tags in tracks provided by record labels are often rubbish. In pop music with hundreds of flavors (and each week a new one) it makes TMHO little sense to spend the effort of genre tagging. Also, in the past, you could only select a value from an otherwise fixed list of genres. This alltogether probably established a (bad) habit what one might call a commen practice.
