Create multiple genres from the Comment field

hi all. I am new here.

I’d love your help to tell me if there is something I can do, and if yes, how to do it.

The situation: I have mp3 files with single genres (in the GENRE field) and some genre-related information in the COMMENT field. My GENRE field is always field with some information. The COMMENT field can either me empty (no information), one genre (it can use “_” but there are never spaces), or multiple genres (but one per line, hence separated my an Entry Key).

My problem: I’d like to get rid of my COMMENT field and, when present, add all of the information (that can be on multiple lines) in the GENRE field, after the already present GENRE information, all separated by “; “.

My question: Is that possible? Can I handle the fact that the COMMENT is sometimes empty, sometimes filled in, and sometimes on multiple lines? Could you explain how to do this to the newbie I am?

A final question: I know multiple software/systems don’t handle properly multliple genres. If U gave “GENRE=AAA; BBB; CCC”, Can you confirm that in such cases it will always at least account for the first one (AAA), instead of a created a created a new genre called “AAA; BBB; CCC“ or even not finding any genre at all?

Many thanks!

cheers.

Try Convert>Tag-Tag for GENRE

Format string: %genre%[;$regexp(%comment%,\s+,;)]

No. This depends entirely on the functions of the specific player.

Some take such a list as separate entries, others (like iTunes) that the whole list as a genre of its own.
