Bug Description
Crates are very useful to allow a track belonging to more then one genre.
But sorting a big library that way is just like painting the Forth Bridge.
Scenario:
You decided to create a new crate for songs with genre ska.
You can sort your library for genre == ska, but you will only find a few tracks because some of them have genre rock, pop or ska-punk.
Now it would be nice to ask last.fm: Give me a list with all of my tracks taged with "ska".

Wouldn't this be better approached with smart creates and either:
-The Track Meta Data Editor GSOC proposal aims to improve the process of retrieving meta data from external sources. Additional subgenre tag.
-Specific last.fm genre tag. Hardcoded or in a custom tags framework.
This approaches are more general and flexible (IMHO). What do you think?
