My installation of dBpoweramp is showing the Artist as "Marc Almond; Gene Pitney", yet numerous other applications (MinimServer, Foobar, MP3Tag) show the Artist as "Marc Almond/Gene Pitney". I have always taken dBpoweramp's tag representation for granted. Curiously, it does know that there are multiple contributing artists since upon conversion to FLAC I get a correct multi-artist entry that all other programs recognise. Hence when I converted my problem ALAC files (which had been created with dBpoweramp), all the multi-artist issues with those files were resolved. So, looks like I'm heading over to the dBpoweramp forum to try and find out more.

Appreciate the time taken to look at this.

All this suggests that dBpoweramp is treating the '/' character as a multi-tag separator. This isn't compliant with the tagging standards for M4A files.
