1. Find an album name with a hyphen/dash in it, e.g. "Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)"
2. Make 2 new playlists with that album in it.
3. From playlist 1, copy that name exactly (I love that you can hit F2 to make editable)
4. In playlist 2, paste that name in the search bar. Nothing is returned until you delete the hyphen/dash.

This is as much of a discussion than a specific request.

Previously requested here, (separate with ; ), here (for Subsonic, also separates with ; ), and here (general discussion).

Foobar & some others support using ; to separate within field.

OneTagger supports it but uses subgenres - I'm not fully sure how, though one option is by using a custom separate field; more info here.

Beets has canonical nested genres which is pretty cool.

Already in Strawberry if you tag a track with multiple genres split by ; e.g. "Microhouse;ClownPenis", that track will appear in a search for genre:microhouse and also genre:clownpenis, so that's great already. Similarly smart playlists work for "genre contains" any of multiple semicolon-separated terms.

A downside is that if you group your collection by genre, the full term is shown, not both separate terms, which will cause the genres grouping to become nightmarishly messy.

So I think feature request 1 is to allow Collection views which contain Genre to split tracks by semicolon and display the same track under both (or more) genre dropdowns.

Keen for your thoughts. Cheers!
