In my database I have multiple entries in one field separated by ";".
If I do any changes to a file with MM(W5) it changes this to "\\".
Beside it adds an additional entry to the "year"-tag.
Do I have any chance to change this behaviour?
Thanks!
Example:
BEFORE:
artist: Robbie Williams; Nicole Kidman
year: 2005
AFTER:
artist: Robbie Williams\\Nicole Kidman
year: 2005\\2005

Re: Changing (field) seperator
The separator used within the tags can't be changed, they follow the tagging standard.

Re: Changing (field) seperator
OK, I didn't see this in older versions.
There is an option in
Tools => Options => Library => Fiels
Where I have set "Split multiple-value with:" to ";"
What's the use of this option if it uses the slashes anyway?
Re: Changing (field) seperator
That setting controls how the separator is displayed and entered in MediaMonkey itself. Different tagging standards store multi-values differently and MediaMonkey adheres to this as otherwise it would break multi-value tags: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHel ... Fields/5.0

Re: Changing (field) seperator
MediaMonkey does not use "\\" separator at all. Where do you look at the written tags? I think it is used by some other software to display multiple values, not by MM. MM uses standard way of storing multiple values (could be different based on the file format), the setting "Split multiple-value with" is related to display only. In case this setting is set to "; " and you insert value "artist1; artist2" to artist field, it is saved as two values in one tag. And some software could display such two values with different separator, like "\\"
