I have been transitioning from using EAC to dBpoweramp and am in the process of standardising the tagging for all of my previously ripped flac music files. For this I have been re-encoding my flac files using dMC (batch converter) and in the process retagging them (with ID Tag Processing) using the original flac files tags as the basis. I have been checking the success and consistency of the new tags using dMC's (batch converter) Audio Info plug-in and this has been working very well so far.
However, I have just hit an anomoly between two albums, both with multiple artists in the the Artist tag as follows:
Album 1
Ripped by EAC to flac format. Re-encoded using dMC batch converter and ID Tag Processing. Audio Info shows the Artist field to be populated with the following:
Artist 1; Artist 2 (i.e. multiple artists separated by a semi-colon and a space).
The dBpoweramp pop-up in windows explorer shows the Artist tag to be shown as:
Artist 1; Artist 2 (i.e. multiple artists separated by a semi-colon and a space).
The dBpoweramp Edit ID-tag dialog box in windows explorer shows the Artist tag to be shown as:
Artist 1; Artist 2 (i.e. multiple artists separated by a semi-colon and a space).
So consistent in all cases.
Album 2
Ripped by dBpoweramp R13 Reference to flac format. Multiple artists were separated by a semi-colon followed by a space. Audio Info shows the Artist field to be populated with the following:
Artist 1 Artist 2 (i.e. multiple artists separated by a space and NO semi-colon).
The dBpoweramp pop-up in windows explorer shows the Artist tag to be shown as:
Artist 1
Artist 2 (i.e. multiple artists shown below each other).
The dBpoweramp Edit-tag dialog box in windows explorer shows the Artist tag to be shown as:
Artist 1; Artist 2 (i.e. multiple artists separated by a semi-colon and a space).
Completely inconsistent!!!
Why is there a difference? I want all of my tagging to be consistent and so would like to resolve this difference.
