"&" in artist name may need to be split into title tag

[cdown]

This is somewhat difficult and is outside the current provided infrastructure because it requires one to do some checks first to see if this looks like something that should be split out. For example "Simon & Garfunkel" should stay the same, but this should not as "Die Lit" is already attributed to the primary artist:

• Artist: Playboi Carti & Nicki Minaj
• Album: Die Lit
• Track: Poke It Out

should become

• Artist: Playboi Carti
• Album: Die Lit
• Track: Poke It Out (feat. Nicki Minaj)

...because "Die Lit" being in both shows this is really just a feat tag.

Possible other things to look for:

• &
• and
• feat[uring]
• vs
• with

Came here to ask for an option to put featuring artists in the artist field but what are your thoughts on using multiple tags? id3v2.4 supports having them with a null separated list.

I like the idea, my only concern is (for example) how does audioscrobbler deal with that? AFAIK it only supports a single artist.

[Siilwyn]

That's a valid concern, there is probably a lot of software that only deals with one field to be honest. I had to look up what audioscrobbler is but it looks like it doesn't support multiple fields. Bit of a shame.
Thoughts on adding this feature behind a flag as a "future" feature that'll become more useful over time (🤞) ?
