Artist name split in two #18

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

The Indexer considers AC/DC as 2 artists: AC and DC.

This is due to using SetslashSeparatedValues.  We probably shouldn't do that.

According to the id3v2 standard the TPE1 frame (artist frame) should be 
separated by
"/" when multiple artists are set. Not sure what to do with this. Should we 
strictly
follow the standard?

Perhaps if it's not common knowledge that you can split multiple artists with a 
slash
then we shouldn't use it.

Are there any padding rules? Eg AC/DC doesn't get split but AC / DC does?

According to id3v2 standard, this is how it should work.

I think this issue should be opened again for consideration especially since it 
is
affecting more than simply the indexing of mp3 files right now. I tested with 
my flac
AC/DC files and sure enough it imported them under artist AC and artist DC. This
issue should be fixed so that at the very worst it only affects users of id3v2.3
tags. id3v2.4 should have fixed this inherent limitation in the id3v2.3 
standard, as
I understand, by making multiple string values within a frame separated by a 
null
termination character rather than a "/". For flac files, vorbis comments allow 
for
multiple ARTIST comments to be added.
