Creating separate multiple genres — did I make a huge mistake?

I’m halfway through cleaning up my library and I’ve used multiple genre tags on many entries (like Blues, Piano Blues, Country Blues - because I want to be able to sort and search that way). But I just realized that all the players I’m testing the results on are treating my multiple tags as a single tag. So, my question: Can I fix this easily without having to go back through each album?

What I Did/My settings:

  • I used commas to separate multiple tags
  • I had the “Join multiple genres with a comma” field activated in Picard
  • I’m using ID3 v2.3
  • When I realized my tags were getting lumped, I changed the above-mentioned “join multiple” option to be blank. However, when I then tested more tagging this way, things didn’t seem to change (still getting the lumping effect)

I read one post about ID3v2.3 not working with multiple tags and then other posts saying it can be player-dependent and some don’t support it. So I’m confused. Can anyone set me on the right path and suggest an easy way to fix what feels like a big mess?
