Multiple artists in 'Artist' field?
When tagging artists using Vista, the properties menu asks that you separate artists for a track with a semicolon ';'.
So the majority of my music is organised in this way.
Example:
Title - Godspeed (Freedom Fighters Mix)
Artists - Her Space Holiday; Aspera Ad Astra
Album Artist - Her Space Holiday
Album - Home Is where You Hang Yourself 2.0
When imported into Songbird, Artist is displayed as 'Her Space Holiday/Aspera Ad Astra' and is considered to be one artist.
So, when grouped by 'Artist' album tracks are not in order and it creates a separate album in the 'media flow' view for tracks like this.
If I group by 'Album Artist' it will keep tracks in order, but lastfm will still scrobble them as one artists, 'Her Space Holiday/Aspera Ad Astra', and thus, is scrobbled incorrectly.
For the moment I have swapped 'Artists' with 'Album Artists' just so that it doesn't screw with my lastfm counts, and I can still sort by 'Artist' and have album tracks in the correct order.
I wish to be able to have multiple artists in the 'Artist' field, but have lastfm scrobble them correctly. Preferably with lastfm just scrobbling the first artist, there's no real need to scrobble all of them.

I’m a little frustrated.

Inappropriate?I really want the first feature to be included. If a song has artist A and artist B separated by / then it needs to recognize each artist rather than treating artist A/artist B as a single artist. -
