Bug Description

The metadata for the tracks is correct but the software is not recognizing the semi-colons to split the fields. If your not going to use album artist and artist as fields then you need to at least use semi-colons to seperate the fields for overlapping artists and genres .....................are you telling me i have a seperate artist node for every track collaboration with more than one or a featured artist .....same with genres instead of rock, classic rock, metal, numetal, hip-hop, rap, rap-rock ...........its showing several competing genres like rock; Classic rock or Afrobeat and then Afrobeat; Chillout or Afrobeat; Funk or Afrobeat; Jazz .....I mean thats ridiculous i and the rest of the world want Afrobeat , then Chillout and funk and jazz as seperate genres all having those overlapping tracks ..... cmon man the first thing you learn in programming is delimmitting fields and files ..... Fix your coding
