I've been browsing to try to find the answer to this, but remain none
the wiser: could someone explain to me how the MULTIPLE ITEMS IN TAGS
box in the SS Settings/Behaviour page is supposed to work? (I'm running
a recent 6.5.1 nightly.)

The description on the page ("If SlimServer finds any of the words or
characters below in your tags, it will create individual listings for
each item") leads me to believe that if I set it to "/;" (without the
quotes), then SS will split whenever it finds a "/" *or* a ";" in a
tag.  So for example, files with Artist set to "Andersen / Tsabropoulos
/ Christensen" would be listed under each of the three artists, and so
would "Andersen; Tsabropoulos; Christensen".  However, I've just tried
this, and it didn't work (at least, not for "/"-separated artists). 
Since each change induces an aeons-long rescan, I'm rather loathe to
experiment! (When I was using 6.2.2, I think that "/" on its own worked
OK, so I suppose I could try that again. One snag with upgrading SS is
having to recreate my settings from memory - or remembering to make
notes first...)

Am I allowed multiple alternative separators, or is the string being
treated as a single separator? If I were to put "Spice Girls" in the
box, would that ban them from my collection? (I can but hope! But I
fear that it might do strange things to anything with either Spice or
Girls in it.) Are there any secret reserved characters, of which "/"
happens to be one?
