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

I can and do easily hexdump the tags section of flac files, just not with the same tool.

I didn't know that. 14 or so years doing this and I didn't know that.
So the semicolon is an indicator to the flac tag compiler it's not data as such.

I've done some experiments. I tried using artist1;artist2 in dBpoweramp. It didn't produce two artist= entries it just produced the semicolon same as I typed in.
Then I tried adding a space so artists1; artist2. That worked ! Two artists entries. So it needs semicolon<space>.

So back to Tag&Rename which has to be said is by far the easiest and most visual of the tag editors I've seen. It shows up the double entry artist tag as artist1/artist2. So I tried both artist1/artist2 and artists1/ artist2 to attempt a write. Unfortunately, neither resulted in duel artist tags. Hmmm. So it looks like it can read but not write that type of data. Disappointing to say the least.

Given the above files already have semicolons, pick a different file and enter "Artist1; Artist2".

See above. Thanks.
