I'm always happy to look at music files to see what metadata issues there might be.
Ahead of that, I'll comment now because of these two items I see in your posts
and
Keep in mind that MP3 and FLAC files contain their metadata in very different formats and have different rules for what can appear in ID3v2.x Metadata Frames (MP3) and Vorbis Comment Metadata Blocks (FLAC). The differences often lead to mischief, notably when multiple genres are to be encoded.
If as Tim suggested you make some files available, please be sure to include examples of both MP3 and FLAC files with multiple genres encoded.

Kent

Quote:1) ...independently of the type of tags (mp3 or flac)
and
Quote:2) When I tag my music, I put separate genres with the delimiter `;`, but it seems that mpd, or rather ncmpcpp and what's under the hood for your interface does not treat them as separate fields, so I have genres like ` Electro; Techno; IDM ` appearing rather than just `Electro`, `Techno` and `IDM`.
