Hi,
finally there is no need to open an issue for MPD
This is what i have done:
Updated my (very) old version of kid3 which is able to handle ID3v2 2.4 format. The specs of the format says that multiple values are possible separated by a null byte. In kid3 you need to separate multiple values by the pipe character | which is replaced by the null byte when saving.
In kid3 you need to convert the ID3v2 2.3 to 2.4 via Tools|Convert
Now you can enter multiple values separated by |. This does not work with version 2.3, the content will not be split at the separator.
This is not only possible for genre but for other tags as well (see kid3 user manual). Its also helpful, for example, if you have a duet and want both singers to be handled separately as well. "A&B|A|B" would then link the same file to A&B, A and B.
MPD is handling those entries fine and moOde displays them properly.
I did my research with kid3 and i don't know how to do this in other tag editors, this may differ.
Before doing this make sure your favorite player supports 2.4.
Thanks for all contributing on this topic pushing me in the right direction.
