- Add native support for multiple genres per album/track. The ``genres`` field
now stores genres as a list and is written to files as multiple individual
genre tags (e.g., separate GENRE tags for FLAC/MP3). The single ``genre``
field is automatically synchronized to contain the first genre from the list
for backward compatibility. The :doc:`plugins/musicbrainz`,

- If you maintain a metadata source plugin that populates the ``genre`` field,

beets User-Agent.
- :doc:`plugins/lastgenre`: The ``separator`` configuration option is
deprecated. Genres are now stored as a list in the ``genres`` field and
written to files as individual genre tags. The separator option has no effect
and will be removed in a future version.
- :doc:`plugins/lastgenre`: The ``separator`` configuration option is removed.
Since genres are now stored as a list in the ``genres`` field and written to
files as individual genre tags, this option has no effect and has been
removed.
