Just a FYI...

In the "de facto" standard ID3v2.3 tag format, a slash ("/") is
supposed to be the delimiter for multiple names in artist related
fields.  (This is rarely implmenetated, of course...)  This is rarely
used and most just treat it as a single string.  (Microsoft, amazingly,
does support this standard.)  Regretably, only a few folks have even
bothered implementing multiple names (and "Album Artist" grouping.)

In Slimserver, you can easily define "/" as delimiter in the 'Multiple
Items in Tags' section in 'Behavior' and you'll get technically correct
multiple name support if you use ID3v2.3.

For the mostly still-born ID3v2.4 standard, I don't think I've seen
anyone actually implement the null delimiters.  If Foobar2000 does add
it (which is ID32.4 only, for reasons I'll never understand), they
might be the first.  No idea what other pool application will do with
it...
