ID3 tagging does not support multiple genre values. To tag anyway multiple genres you have to separate them by some delimiter. Thus browsing by genre becomes difficult:

  • Pop
  • pop / rock
  • Indie, Alternative, Pop
  • Metal ; Thrash Metal

I have added a feature to optimize the genre browsing. It can be enabled/disabled via Preferences (also the delimiter characters). Each genre value will split and shown as a single genre:

  • Pop
  • Rock
  • Indie
  • Alternative
  • Metal
  • Thrash Metal

Browsing the genre 'Pop' shows all artists that match one of the three complex genres that contains 'Pop': 'Pop', 'pop / rock' & 'Indie, Alternative, Pop'.
In the implementation GenreGroup is used instead of Genre by the browsing fragments.

Hello!

Thanks for all of your pull requests. I noticed you're doing quite a lot of them, some of which I'd be inclined to merge and some I'm not sure about.

As you may have noticed, MPDroid is no longer active development, meaning that I don't also take time to really review the merge requests, something essential for merging them.

While I really appreciate the contributions, I think it may be for the best that you and some other people working on mpdroid on their end may look into forking it for good
