Bug#442355: Support for multiple genre tags

[Erich Schubert]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.11.1-1+b1
Severity: wishlist
Tag: upstream

Rhythmbox doesn't seem to support multiple genre fields. This works very well with ID3v2 and Ogg Vorbis, though.
And it's very useful in cases where a song is hard to classify or when you want to avoid creating thousands of genres.
For example, it makes a lot of sense to tag a song as both "Big-Band" and "Swing", as opposed to Swing which is not played by a big band, or a big band playing different music styles.
Also if you do sub-classification this is useful, e.g. for tagging songs as "Neo-Swing", "Retro Swing" and "Swing", if they are modern swing, imitating the old swing styles.
That way they can still be found when filtering by genre "Swing".
