Anyone else seeing this? After doing a full rescan (but not after an
update), the number of songs reported on the web UI is low by one. As
soon as I go into "Browse Artists" or "Browse Albums", etc it is
updated and correct.
Let me know if I should report a bug.

Using ";" as a genre separator works for me with no spaces around the
genres. I suspect you just need to do a full clear and rescan.
