    Reading and displaying tags

    Hi!
    I recently purchased Asset because I was impressed with the uninterrupted playback when streaming, and the sound quality.
    I'm having an issue where the display on track artist names appears differently from my tags. I also use Miniserver and it displays the issue track(s) fine.
    This is for a mp3 song. I usually listen to mostly FLAC files, but some I only have on mp3.
    Its songs with artists 'Featuring'.

    For example -
    When a song features two artists.
    Adaro Feat. Vertile - Smash (Original Mix)
    Asset will display the song as Adaro; Vertile. Asset displays this on my Yamaha amp which is connected to my TV for visual. Even though the file name is Feat. and so is the tag.
    Songs with '&' in them seem to work fine.

    Also, I have worked out that Asset is reading the file name, the not tags of the song? I proved this by changing a song name via file name.

    I didn't have this issue when I had the trial version, but I only listened to FLAC files, which appeared fine.

    I've tried changing a few things in the advanced settings with no luck. I've gone back to Miniserver for the correct display.
    Hoping someone might have some help on the situation.

    There are two artists, and asset is correctly reading both artists. If you wanted to list tracks by 'Vertile' the would be listed, by selecting the artist Vertile.

    If you had:

    Adaro Feat. Vertile
    Adaro Feat. Person1
    Adaro Feat. Person2

    You would have 3 different Adaro aritsts with garbage on the end, instead of just one.
