I personally don't like this as no music player I've ever seen does this, and it's generally not how music is tagged.
Sorry to comment on such an old issue, but how should I tag songs with multiple artists and multiple genres to be shown correctly? There are a lot of encoders but just a few players which support cutting at a semicolon 🤔🤔
This doesn't seem to be fixed yet, but many protocols such as Windows Explorer, Windows Media Player, and more use ' / ' as a delimiter for multiple artists, for example:
A song with the artist tag Madeon / Porter Robinson
would be displayed under both Madeon and Porter Robinson, and the song would list the artists as Madeon, Porter Robinson
.
Note the space before and after the '/', so artists such as AC/DC wouldn't be affected. Perhaps a non-default option in settings would keep both groups of users satisfied.
Additional standardized delimiters include ;
, |
.
Can we add a semi-colon ;
as a delimiter as well? I have tons of songs from when I used MediaMonkey that list multiple artists per song with that delimiter. Like Artist1;Artist2
would then (as @bwalsh0 said) make the song show up under both artists.
Thanks!
It combined the artists when songs have multiple artists, this cause the artist tab lose bio and picture. So could you find a better solution to deal with this issue? I suggest to split the artist when a song appear with multiple artists.
