Music player that supports multiple genres

Rhythmbox performs search by "all fields" by default. Which means that it will search every shown field (columns are customizable), this way if a song matches at least one of your search criteria, it will be shown in the results list.

Let's say: I have songs with the "Disco" and the "Italo-Disco" tags in the "Genre" field, as shown in the next screenshot:

When I run a search for "Italo", only these songs that matches that search criteria will be shown in the list as shown in the next screenshot:

But if I run a search for the "Disco" tag, the results will show both "Disco" and "Italo-Disco" results, as shown here:

Other search results for tags in different fields/columns will do the same, see this screenshot for the "Techno" tag in the "Genre Field".

For customizing your fields list simply go to Edit/Preferences in order to check which fields you wish to be shown in the list in the "General" Tab:

If your Rythmbox's search results won't result in what you expect, you may wish to uninstall and reinstall Rhythmbox. Please let us know if you succeed.

Good luck!
