MattGo Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Hello, I use Poweramp for several months. I love it. So, thanks to the developers. Just one thing for me wich could be better. On PC, the artist mutli tag use semicolon with space as separator : "Artist1; Artist2; Artist3". You can see that with dBpoweramp software. It works perfectly with MusicBee and Mp3tag. With Poweramp it works with flac songs but not with mp3. I use the same music files on PC and on my phone (with OneDrive). At the moment I am forced to use Mp3tag to remove the space after the semicolon. It would be nice if Poweramp can works with the separator "; ". Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Poweramp ignores spaces in separators by default, so you could have any number of spaces in a tag before or after a semicolon (or none at all) and it would still work to split two artists. So "Artist1;Artist2;Artist3 ;Artist4 ; Artist5" would be correctly scanned as five separate artist names if you have a single semicolon set as a separator symbol. Note: in recent builds of PA, you can enforce the use of whitespace (which is actually the opposite of what you want here) when you Add a symbol in the first place. So for your usage, please untick this option when you add symbols: FLACs and MP3s should be handled identically, but do be aware that FLAC supports multiple instances of its ARTIST tag, while MP3 can use a null-byte separator within one tag. Some editing programs display this as <semicolon><space> (e.g. TagScanner does this). MP3Tag usually indicates these with "\\", which is easier to spot.
