    Why Do Titles with "/" in Title Name Get Split

    Hi, newbie here. Been using dBpoweramp a few days and really like it. Being able to rip a CD to ALAC, then convert the files to AAC in less than 10 seconds is amazing.

    If I have a track with a slash in the name, dBPA keeps the text before the slash as the track Title and then puts the text after the slash in the Artist tag. Then, because there is more than one artist, it puts "<Various>" in the master "Artist" field at the top of the screen.

    It's a pain to fix this manually.

    Is there a way to stop this automatic splitting of track Titles that include a slash character?

    The slash character shows up a lot in songs that are medleys where the individual song names in the medley are separated by a slash.

    Thanks!

    I do not think dBpoweramp is changing as you say. We do not map tags from Title to Artist, ever.

    Take your ALAC file >> right click > Edit ID Tags

    look how the tags are shown. Then take a converted aac file >> right click >> Edit ID Tag

    how do they look?
