No, you store *a* GENRE tag. there is not guarantee that I've seen
that this will be the *freedb* genre. more likely, it'll be hte id3
GENRE. or, as you so distinctly point out, there can be multiple
GENRE tags. Which one is the freedb genre?  :P

Oh, I'm so sorry. Collaboration isn't needed? I was obviously mistaken
in my idea that another group who have the same goal (a standard/pseudo-
standard for music metadata) might have something to contribute. I must
also have been incorrect in my idea that two groups sharing the same
standard would have more influence than two groups competing.

cdindex. Refer to cdindex.org. Maybe I didn't make that clear enough.
