ambum 4 - Jazz/Big Band
ambum 5 - Jazz/nu-jazz
ambum 6 - Jazz/nu-jazz
ambum 7 - Jazz/nu-jazz

This would just be organised alphabetically, and have the exact same effect as you would want, no?

I use genres loosely, and mainly because its just plain easy.
The idea I had in mind was that a media player should be able to do something like this, expanding on your own example :
  • Genres :
    • Jazz
      • Big Band
        • Album 1
        • Album 2
          • Song 1
          • Song 7 (ex. the genre only applies to a couple of the songs on the album)
        • Album 3
        • Album 4
      • Nu-jazz
        • Album 5
        • Album 6
        • Album 7

Since this information is not supported by the tags I know, I'm guessing this is not really something media players can do, but I like things being organized and would like to see something like this - at least support for it. As for my own collection and what to do with it, yeah - I was basically thinking of something like you presented.

What I would like to do first is come up with a set of super-genres like jazz that can describe all the music I have in my library.
