Not now, things like this require testing, a lot. Check every format and fix possible problems. I'll mark it for RadioBOSS 6.4 for now.Is a solution that concatenates with " & " possible at the moment?
Nowadays most of the songs are collaborations, and it's an annoying bug that I have to manually fix every song we add.
Further looking into this, there's another issue - writing tags. Currently there's a single Artist edit box in RadioBOSS (in Track Tool and other windows where tag info is shown). When this is edited, what should happen? Should it parse the string using a separator and write multiple Artist fields? Or delete all additional artist fields and write everything into one?Is a solution that concatenates with " & " possible at the moment?

If tag information is present, RadioBOSS will not read the file name. That is, you can have track named Track02.mp3, and if it's tagged properly, everything will work as it should (repeat protection, streaming titles etc). File name is only used when there's no tag information, in this case it tries to parse it using %artist - %title pattern.Please note that if you buy from Amazon you have to do the opposite, i.e. use the "Tag - File Name" option, as the metadata is filled in correctly, but the song title is not.
Removing all artist fields is not a good idea.Or delete all additional artist fields and write everything into one?
In the immediate future it is better than what we have today, but it does not convince me for the reason mentioned above.Or delete all additional artist fields and write everything into one?
Merging all fields into one with a separator, and separating them back into multiple fields doesn't look reliable. Like in your example, "Years & Years" will become two artists, and choosing a different separator will not work too because some other artist could have used it in their name.So rb only shows the first field, but nothing is lost.
Although it may be very complex, what is your view of this?
Thank you,This is on our to-do list for the next major update, but I won't promise it 100% because it may not be finished.
Not really, I'm afraid, it will still require most of the work done to make it possible. Currently it's assigned for RadioBOSS 6.4, but there are lots of other things for this version in the queue. We'll do our best to implement this in 6.4 version.Before that is it possible to implement it in readtag and writetag?
