Artists with / in the name are converted to ; separation

[Alex Mauer]

When importing a file with music credited to an artist with a slash in the name (e.g. AC/DC) the artist will be treated and displayed as if the / is separating two different artists (AC; DC). Editing the metadata in Banshee fixes it temporarily, but re-importing it will cause it to be wrong again.
