Default Separator for Multiple Values for a Given Field.

Re: Default Separator for Multiple Values for a Given Field.

'; ' is the standard across many applications (foobar, Windows Media Player, Media Monkey), we follow the standard.

I hear you loud and clear. Sorry for taking your time. I thought add an alternative separator would be easy.

It is just a representation, '; ' is not written to FLAC files.

I know that. The problem is that users end up using the semicolon-space separator when editing tags in mp3tag. They fall into this trap because they switch back and forth between the two applications. Of course that doesn't work, so then our librarian has to go back and edit faulty tags to correct them.

Now one could say that I should ask Florian to change his separator, but the "\\" separator seems easier to apply and appeals to me as a distinct pair of characters.

I just thought it would be good if the two programs used the same separator, so I thought I'd ask if it were possible to make the "\\" character pair do the same thing as a semicolon-space. It wouldn't even have to be a programmable option...just another way for dBpoweramp to recognize that the next value in the string is a new tag value. Seems to me that this would be a rather simple alteration to the code.

Is it possible to change the default "separator" for multiple values for a given field name from the "semicolon-space" separator to the "double backslash" separator used by mp3tag? We work exclusively with FLAC tags, if that makes any difference.

If not, would you consider making that an option in a future release? It would save us some time correcting tag values and make life a lot easier...one of my favorite goals!
