MP3s with multiple album artists or artists are being scanned improperly - nxllxvxxd - 2025-04-26

So, when I have MP3 files with multiple artists in either the Album Artists or Artists fields they do not properly import. Say the artists are Eminem and Dr. Dre, I put them in the artists fields within MP3Tag as: Eminem\\Dr. Dre which is compliant with Jellyfin, but the outputted artist field will be incorrect in Jellyfin:

Notice that the artist tag says EminemDr. Dre as one complete artist

Now interestingly enough it is fine with flac files, those will properly tag and have multiple artists. And even when tagging them withing Jellyfin with a semicolon the song itself will be fixed, but all links to the other artists, ie by clicking their name, go nowhere and the artists are not shown as Appearing On under the individual artist page
