hi,

i use the "multiple artist tag character" option from the server
settings menu - sorry i don't remember exactly where that field is, but
is on the server settings pages, somewhere.  :)

i use the semi-colon as my multiple artists separating character.  what
this character allows is an ARTIST tag like the following:

ALBUM="Dark Side of the Moog, Volume IV"
ARTIST="Klaus Schulze;Pete Namook"

now, when slimserver scans your library, the album will appear under
all artist's names, and all artists will appear under the album's
name.

the downside is that you must GO BACK to your flac files after creating
them, and re-tag them!  there isn't a way that i know of to inform flac
beforehand to construct an ARTIST tag in this format.  to re-tag, you
need to either become friends with metaflac, the program that operates
on flac files and allows re-tagging, or use a GUI-based tagging
program.  i simply call metaflac directly, and have it re-tag files
that have multiple artists before a rescan.

hope this helps!  if anyone knows how to prevent the going back and
re-tagging, please post it here!  i could certainly use the education. 
:)

best,
-sherm
