Hi,

I have songs from a few artists whose names contain special characters like à;GRUMH and De/Vision. Since both ';' and '/' seems to be treated as separators I was hoping that switching to id3 v2.4 would be a solution since there 'null' can be used instead, but alas... Is there recommended way to deal with names like this?

    No, there is no other way than switching to 2.4.

    In 2.3 the "/" is simply treated as a separator for e.g. multiple artists.

    There is one prominent group, which has this "problem": AC/DC
    I have coded an exception, so that AC/DC is handled correctly.

    But we can't do that for all the others. At least a functio could be introduced, where you would be able to specify your exceptions, but that requoires additional coding.

    The easiest and fastest way is to store them as 2.4 tags.
