Multiple-genre support #109

Hey there, long time Shuttle user, this is something I've seen in other players but Shuttle seems to lack, so I'll get it out there.

If a music file has multiple tags, for example: Rock/Alternative Rock/Indie/Britpop or Jazz/Country/Indie

Shuttle will create a "Rock/Alternative Rock/Indie/Britpop" and a "Jazz/Country/Indie" list in the genre section, instead of separating them like so: Rock Alternative Rock Indie Britpop Jazz Country

Can this be implemented somehow? It kind of defeats the purpose of using the genre section since most of my music files have multiple tags.

Thanks a lot for all your hard work.

It seems like Android expects for the genres to be split by ";". This way the genres are recognized as separate entries, but each song is assigned just the first one. So if a mp3 is tagged as Rock;Blues, it will only show up in the Rock genre.

If Shuttle could do that properly, it would be very cool. Especially if one could do stuff like create playlists by specifying genres, eg. all that have genre Jazz, but none that also have genre Slow. I'd totally re-tag my library for this.

Yes. Sadly, but it seems like this useful feature is missing in all music players in the world.
