Multiple genres are essential, also on the phone. Alas, nothing as good as gmusicbrowser exists for Android.

I've found to option that support multi genres: MusicMonkey and foobar2000. Only the later reads gmusicbrowser genres correcly, but I would like to give the former a try.

Seemingly, MusicMonkey uses semicolon ; as a genre delimiter, whereas gmusicbrowser uses slash /. The latter I gather from reading off the meta-data.

Is it possible to change the output written by gmusicbrowser for genre separators?

(If other suggestion for solution exists, then I'm oopen for that, too. I'm working on a separate collection of test files -- I would not mess with my real collection).

Kind regards,

1) Nice to know.

2) No, I ran it without additional arguments (as shown in the first line of the drop  ;) ).

Perfect!
I have been using gmb for a couple of years and I had no idea I could affect the searches that way! Thank you!

I have filtered out the minor artists in the way you suggested -- simply great!

I think making a "minor artists" artist would be nice -- then one could always select that, and in a filterPnae to the right also showing artists, one could then have a lower filter number set there and thereby re-find them.

Perhaps optional, it would be nice if search covered file names as well.

With certain collections, keeping every track tagged with the correct artist is unfeasible (like my "90's Dance" genre with ~200 artists and ~300 tracks).

I would like to throw away the artist information of such collections and pool them under a "Various Artists" heading, but I would also like to be able to find those tracks again easily, by searching. Since the artist name makes no trouble in the file name, one could keep it there and re-find it by searching -- if search included filenames.

I was running v1.1.8-1 from the software center.

I just download and installed the .deb of the new version, and it runs! Thank you very much!  ;D
I have been living with Rhythmbox for the last couple of hours, but it's a very poor substitute after having organized my collection with gmb.

I case you are interested, here's what the terminal prints with the new version:

I have just make a clean install of 12.04 daily, and gmb does not run.

I get the following errors:

user@machine:~$ gmusicbrowser

Any tips?
