(i know for certain that Media Monkey can do this, i had my tags set up like this while i was using it as my main player a few years back).

look here for more info - this "Title Formatting" can be used throughout foobar, in everything from playlist columns to status bar text.

Foobar2000:Title Formatting Reference - Hydrogenaudio Knowledgebase

as a fallback, foobar lets you create your own custom tags. anything you want. you can't expect other players to be able to read them, but as long as you use foobar, you can use them just fine.
Found a way to do it in Winamp too I'll just use the category tags for super genres, then leave genre as they are.

I'll give Foobar a shot, though. The customization possibilities sounds like it might be fun.
