Hi,
Lately I've been trying to organize my music metatags a bit. Generally I use the metadata function in CD ripper to get most of the metadata, and then use the ID tag editor to make it absolutely perfect.
Today I noticed something weird: each track which has multiple of the same tags (e.g. multiple artists, composers) is handled differently by Winamp and Mp3tag depending on whether the specific tag originates from the CD Ripper or was edited later in the tag editor.
For example, say I input for Artist "Mister A; Mister B". When it is straight from the CD Ripper, Winamp and Mp3tag show it normally: (case 1)
Artist: Mister A; Mister B
But When I input it later in the tag editor Winamp and Mp3tag show this: (case 2)
Artist: Mister A
Artist: Mister B
In dbpoweramp it's always shown as case 1. My first question is, what causes all this?
My last question is partly related to the Winamp library. It so happens that both of these cases cause problems. When it is case 1, Winamp doesn't seperate the artist by the semicolon, which results in several artists per artist entry. With case 2, Winamp only grabs the first artist (Mister A) and throws away the others. In the ideal situation Winamp uses every artist as one artist enty. My last question is this possible?
