Re: MP3 taggers....

Don,

Thanks, you have got me thinking in another direction that may solve
the underlying requirement.

I don't use the PC for music replay... I use Rio Receivers/DDARs.

Hence the music server is JReceiver... However, now you mention it,
JReceiver does support dynamic playlists based on multiple
criteria... so I could create my bizarre selections based on those
rather than multiple genres.

... so Progrock becomes a playlist defined as:

SELECT WHERE ARTIST = "Marillion" OR ARTIST = "Genesis"
OR ...

Regards,

Mark
