Hi there all..

I was wondering if there is a way to merge/combine different value of genres into one specified genre ?

Artist is ABC  
Album is X Genre is 6  
Album is Y Genre is 8  
ALbum is Z Genre is 9

What i would like to have as an end result would be

Artist is ABC  
Album is X Genre is 6/8/9  
Album is Y Genre is 6/8/9  
ALbum is Z Genre is 6/8/9

Thank in advanced

MP3tag does not know anything about the previous or the next file, it only looks at the current file.  
So, it is up to you to set the data manually for any collection of files that you have.  
It is possible to create several fields of the type GENRE so that you may find each track under several GENRE names.  
Getting a concatenated list of genres is a manual task, though.
