Hey, I'm having a problem with foobar reading /'s from the mp3 tags as ,'s.
For example:
AC/DC is shown as AC,DC
And
.hack//SIGN is shown as .hack,SIGN
This screws with the album list panel, separating them so it appears I have an artist labeled AC and another artist labeled DC.
Foobar 0.9.4.2 with latest columns_ui
Full Version: Backslashes (/) being displayed as commas (,)
To quote the foobar2000 developer:
ID3v2.3 does not support slash characters in artist names. According to the specification, your tag indicates two artists, named "AC" and "DC".
From http://www.id3.org/id3v2.3.0.txt :
While I agree that this is braindead, this behavior complies with the specification. If you don't like it, use ID3v2.4 instead.

The 'Lead artist(s)/Lead performer(s)/Soloist(s)/Performing group' is used for the main artist(s). They are seperated with the "/" character.
