Thanks for the reply!

As for the aiode documentation, the one thing that doesn't click yet is:
"Mixxx only supports a single genre per track. But you could encode multiple genres into this field by using a separator like " - " (space dash space): "Pop - Rock"."

The convention MusicBee & Foobar both have adopted is injecting NULLs into ID3 fields, I assume as per the official spec (https://id3.org/id3v2.3.0 ).
Flac/Vorbis on the other hand always had multi-field declarations as part of the spec.
So having multiple (eg) genres is embedded into the metadata spec/system.

How does being able to read multi-value metadata work in practice in Mixxx if "Mixxx only supports a single genre per track" ?
That doesn't quite compute yet.
Cheers.
