@Atair
I can't predict how this discussion will impact future moOde capability but at least I understand better now what's going on with your files. (Thanks for sending the link; I got all that I need. I know I was supposed just to look at the metadata but I couldn't help listening too
)
Here's what is actually in the metadata for one of your MP3 files
As you can see, the TCON value (which is short for "Text: Content Type" and is interpreted universally to mean "Genre") contains three genres separated by space-solidus-space. I now have an idea what to test with ID3v2 tags. Incidentally, this parsing of the concatenated values is not documented in the MPD User Manual nor can I figure out where it is happening in the C++ code.
The FLAC file is less mysterious.
Although the comment lines 12-14 should be named GENRE rather than genre, at least this file's metadata agrees with my previous statement regarding multiple genres.

Kent
