In MP3tag I used the "\" character to separate genre tags.  Works great
for FLACs, without having to provide a separator character in Slimserver
at all.  For MP3s though, that didn't work.  So, I used a ";" as
suggested and changed the Slimserver setting, changed the "\" separator
character to ";" in MP3tag for my MP3 files only, and lo and behold it
worked.  The ";" setting in Slim also did not seem to affect the FLACs
which were still separated with the "\" character (at least as shown in
MP3tag).

This does seem as a bit of a hack, though, as using the backslash
separator actually causes MP3tag to issue two or more genre tags on
separate lines.  Using a ";" character simply sets a single genre tag
that has two or more sections delimited by semicolons.  This is what
Slim seems to be parsing.  It does seem as if Slim can detect multiple
genre tags with FLACs but not with MP3s.

Thanks for the clarification; I guess I'll now use the semicolon as a
tag separator for both FLACs and MP3s to maintain consistency.
