Hi all,

I believe I have found a bug in regards to how exiftool displays multiple genres for a mp3 file. Every second genre on output is displayed as the genre number as opposed to being converted to the genre description. I.e.

Code Select
[ID3v2_4]       Genre                           : Rap/7

and for further genres the problem continues

Code Select
[ID3v2_3]       Genre                           : Rap/7/Pop/22/Space

I have looked at the byte code of the mp3 file and tried to confirm that the genres are separated properly and they seem to be from what I can see however I am not certain. I have attached a shortened version of the original file with a copy of the metadata as an example.

Hopefully this bug can be fixed if it does indeed exist or the error of my ways become clear hahaha.
Regards Nick :)

Ni Nick,

Quite right.  Thanks for this report, and for the sample.  This will be fixed in ExifTool 10.87

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
