Artist fields separated by ";" delimiter shows up as "/"

Post by theta_wave »

Somewhat related to issue #1506. Under Mediamonkey [1736], the Artist field is "Akira Kosemura; Haruka Nakamura" for an album of theirs and when looking at the column view, the artists are indeed separated (selecting either artist brings up that album). While syncing to my Samsung G5, I explicitly checked "Use only the first value when multiple Artists / Composers exist" under {Device} > Options > Tagging. On my phone, the sync hasn't finished yet, when I selected a song for the phone's native alarm program, it listed "Akira Kosemura/Haruka Nakamura" rather than simply Akira Kosemura.

The delimiter is only a visual representation in MediaMonkey. What delimiter is used in the tags of the file depends on the standard of the file type.

Which version of MediaMonkey are you syncing with and is MMA installed?

I'm using the latest stable releases of both (MMW and MMA) and "Artist 1; Artist 2" (FLAC) in MMW shows up as "Artist1/Artist2" (MP3) under MMA even though "use only the first value when multiple Artists / Composers exist" under {Device} > Options > Tagging in the Sync menu is checked.

Expected Result:
"Artist 1; Artist 2" (FLAC) in MMW is displayed as "Artist 1" (MP3) in MMA under the latter's "Artists & Album Artists" menu.
