I am using version 3.25 and have some music files with multiple genres such as  
Soundtrack\\Pop  
Soundtrack\\Rock  
Soundtrack\\Score  
Is it possible to adjust the settings so the the second genre is picked up instead of the first? Thank you for taking a look at this.

For the second genre, you could try it with  
`$meta(GENRE,1).m3u`

From the [documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/scripting/#metadata-functions):

BTW:  
The first genre would be `$meta(GENRE,0).m3u` but this would be the same as `%GENRE%.m3u`
