I'm not aware how to change the multi-value separator, but if you don't want a field to be split automatically (and therefore accept semicolon as text) you just need to modify the field list under: Preferences -> Advanced -> Display -> Properties dialog : Multivalue fields By default it's 'ARTIST;ALBUM ARTIST;COMPOSER;PRODUCER;PERFORMER;GENRE' Obviously if your tags have already been split this won't fix them, so you'd need to run something like a Masstagger action against them: 'Format value from other fields', ALBUM ARTIST, $meta_sep(ALBUM ARTIST,'; ') Which will replace multiple fields of ALBUM ARTIST with a single field separated by '; ' in this example. Obviously test on a sample. |

RE: Listing multidisc albums with different composers
Thanks so much for your responses guys! I did as simbun suggested above and the issue appears solved.
One more thing: how exactly does using [disc 01...] in the album name field differ from using a separate DISCSUBTITLE tag? What would be an ideal use case for each? I thought they would function pretty much interchangeably. If I understand correctly, at the very least they shouldn't both be used together concurrently. |

RE: Listing multidisc albums with different composers
To use a DISCSUBTITLE tag, you must also have either a DISCNUMBER tag or [disc n] in the ALBUM tag.
As an alternative to using a DISCSUBTITLE tag, you can put both the disc number and disc subtitle in the [disc n...] suffix of the ALBUM tag. The standard method is to use both DISCNUMBER and DISCSUBTITLE. Putting this information into the ALBUM tag is specific to MinimServer. |
