I did do the change in Tag&rename but I have written my own tag reader for flac and it shows the following.

If you're seeing those values in the MinimServer All Artists index then they're still not being stored correctly. Tag&Rename must be using a different character to enable its users to generate multi-value tags.

If you have Powershell v7 installed run the following against one of your files:

Code:

Format-Hex -Path 01.01.flac -Count 1024

In WSL `hexdump -C --length 1024 01.01.flac`

You should see something like:

Code:

00000000000002B0 35 38 33 37 35 36 11 00 00 00 41 52 54 49 53 54 583756�   ARTIST
00000000000002C0 3D 45 6C 74 6F 6E 20 4A 6F 68 6E 0F 00 00 00 41 =Elton John�   A
00000000000002D0 52 54 49 53 54 3D 44 75 61 20 4C 69 70 61 16 00 RTIST=Dua Lipa�

Showing that there are two ARTIST fields (this is how FLAC stores multi-value tags).

Alternatively the 'Extended Tags' panel in Mp3tag or TagInspector in MusicBee will also show if they're being correctly stored as separate artists (you shouldn't see the semicolon).

EDIT: If you want to work out which character Tag&Rename uses to allow the writing of multi-value tags, make the change in dBpoweramp and open the resulting file in Tag&Rename. Given the above files already have semicolons, pick a different file and enter "Artist1; Artist2".
