AlbumArtist - tag field

[paultaylor]

In Flac multiple values can be stored as either

 

ALBUMARTIST=artist1;artist2

 

or

 

ALBUMARTIST=artist1

ALBUMARTIST=artist2

 

Other formats use different ways to do this, for example for MP3 you store multiple values as null terminated

e.e TALB:artist1\0artist2

 

If the tag editor does provide a way to store multiple values then it needs to offer a consistent way for the user to enter multiple values for different formats, this doesn't necessarily  match what is actually stored in the files when they are saved.

 

I recommend you either use a different tag editor that displays multiple values(such as my own Jaikoz ) to see if they are stored as multiple values, or alternatively use a hex editor (I use Ultraedit) and search for the text to see how they are stored.
