Genre split by slash

[splintering]

I tried to read through previous issues to find out what is the policy for splitting tags, but I could not really find a definitive answer. So sorry if this is a duplicate question in any way.

I am just trying out LMS (recommended by Tolriq from Symfonium) running the current docker image. I have genre tags that look like this: "Rock/Pop/Indie". This is supposed to be a single genre, but LMS splits this into three genre "Rock", "Pop", "Indie". Is this definitely intended like this?

Ah, I am currently working on improving this!
Yes, LMS has some hardcoded delimiters for genre (including /)
I plan to expose these delimiters in the settings panel. For now they would be used for every tag (artist, genre, mood, etc )
The idea will be to expose the extra tag delimiters to be used, but no split will be done if at least one multi-valued tag is spotted in the file.

Ok, having the option to configure the delimiters would be great :-) With the genres, this is only my own custom problem. But e.g. with artists there are some well-known issues (the "AC/DC" problem). So it makes sense to have this configurable.

I will keep an eye on this. And thank you for your immediate response!

BTW delimiters should be strings and not just char.
" / " as a delimiter would be different from "/" and solve a few problems like AC/DC ;)

Yes but then it would not split its Rock/Pop/Indie genres.
Basically, we want to set custom string delimiters, per tag type.
That's some significant effort to make a decent UI to handle these badly tagged files.

[Tolriq]

Yes but then it would not split its Rock/Pop/Indie genres.

That's the point and why I just mention that delimiters should be strings with multiple chars like " / " and not just single char delimiters.

My default artist separator is artistSeparators = arrayOf(" / ", " , ", ";", " feat. ", " ft. ") and the genre genreSeparators = arrayOf(" / ", ",", ";", " & ") again the " & " is not just "&".

And what about moods, languages, release types, labels, etc.?

[Tolriq]

arrayOf("|", "#", ";", ":", "/") most of the time. But if it's configurable it's ok, just make it configurable to support strings with spaces not just a single char.
