Generic questions though: what file types (MP3, FLAC, etc.) are being used? What tagging schemes (ID3v2.3, ID3v2.4, VORBIS_COMMENT, etc.)? What MPD tags are in play (genre, mood, etc.) and how well do the MPD input plugins map what's in different music-file types to the chosen MPD tags?

It's basically just extending the option for which tag to use to populate the Genre list in Tag view. Currently either Genre or Composer can be used but I think the code might allow any tag to be used. I'll have to take a look.
One thing thats a bit puzzling is that MPD has the following list of supported tags https://mpd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/protocol.html#tags yet tags that aren't on the list for example the "style" tag in @fred9000's collection still get indexed.
