This would combine multiple fields into a single field separated by a
semi-colon. In FLAC tags (and ID3v2.4 tags, although Mp3tag also may do
ID3v2.3 tags this way) you can have multiple fields in the tag with the
same name. This is the recommended way to tag FLAC and Ogg files using
their tagging system of Ogg Vorbis comments. For example, something
like:
ALBUM=Raising Sand
ARTIST=Alison Krauss
ARTIST=Robert Plan
GENRE=Rock
GENRE=Country
The alternative that you can use with Squeezebox Server is to combine
the multiple fields into a single field, with the value separated by a
separator character:
ALBUM=Raising Sand
ARTIST=Alison Krauss;Robert Plan
GENRE=Rock;Country
You can do that by using the $meta_sep() Mp3tag function. This function
says 'take all of the data for the different fields having the same name
and combine the values into a string, with values separated by some
character'. So you can design a 'Format value' action (sorry, I said a
Replace action above) as follows for each of the fields you want to
change:
Code:
--------------------
-Action type:- *Format value*
-Field:- *GENRE*
-Format string:- *$meta_sep(genre,;)*
--------------------
