Can't Separate Artists

[GavinB]

I've been busy tidying up the sort values for artists in my collection.

I'm having issues with just one album -it's a Chesky 30th Anniversary collection bought as a download.

For tracks with multiple artists I can't get them to appear as two separate artists. In the tag editor they look correct, with the different artist names spearated by semi-colons. However, they only appear under one artist when I browse for them.

If I view the file using Notepad I can only find one entry for ARTIST= (with the full text of both artists and semi-colon).

If I do the same for any other file, it shows mutliple entries for ARTIST and of course the behaviour is as I expect - I can find the same file by browsing to both artists.

Any ideas?

Looks like this has something to do with ARTIST vs. Artist tag.

I deleted the Artist tag and saved the (test) file. A quick look with Notepad confirmed it was no longer there. When I re-added it, it worked, putting two values in, but this time as Artist= rather than ARTIST=.

What's the difference?

Tag names are not case sensitive, so Artist= in the file is exactly equivalent to ARTIST=.
