In Mp3tag the \\ isn't taken literally. It's used to split fields into
multiple fields and to represent those fields in an editable form. So,
for example, a track with its genre shown as 'Vocal\\Jazz' will actually
be two genre fields in the tagging. I'm not sure it works on all
fields, though - I haven't tried it with custom fields, and I'm not sure
if it works like this for all the versions of ID3v2 tags. In some cases
it may actually insert the literal characters '\\'. Squeezebox Server
can read multiple fields, but it can't split fields on anything but a
single character.
You might just be better off using a simple character separator, such
as a semi-colon (';') and designating this in Squeezebox Server under
Settings > My Music > Separator for Multiple Items in Tags.
Converting to this in Mp3tag will depend on whether you have multiple
fields or you have literal \\ characters. Changing \\ to ; is easy to
do using a Replace action. Combining fields could also be done in a
Replace action using the function $meta_sep(fieldname,separator), as in
Code:
--------------------
$meta_sep(artist,;)
