Feature request: Optional tag delimiters
I understand that in order for Minimserver to interpret tags with multiple values that those tags have to be repeated in the file rather than entered with a delimiter character. I understand the reasoning for this... but...

Would it be possible in a future version to have a configuration option for a specific delimiter to be interpreted for a specific tag field?

Here's why... I'm an audio dealer and use USB-connected playback devices just about as much as UPnP devices. For USB I'm using JRiver (or Audirvana) for playback and I also use JRiver to manage my library and keep metadata up-to-date. Some of the features of JRiver make the tagging process very easy and the majority of my customers are happy with this solution.

Unfortunately, when a database field in JRiver is setup for multiple values it writes the tag to the file as a semi-colon-deliminated string into one tag entry. Furthermore, JRiver doesn't interpret multiple instances of the same tag in a file (so re-tagging with mp3tag won't work either).

In my case I make extensive use of the 'Soloists' tag in JRiver for my classical library, but Minimserver can't properly interpret the Soloist tags for which multiple soloists have been entered.

Although I understand that a delimiter isn't the "proper" way to tag the files it has become an unfortunate default for a lot of software packages.

Would it be possible to add an option which would allow one to specify that for a certain tag (say Soloists) Minimserver should interpret a specific character as a field delimiter and build its cache accordingly?
