(Don't) split ID3 artist/composer tags
So this is an issue I'm most likely the only one experiencing, but still worth to discuss imo,
Basically the ID3 specification specifies that /
can be used as splitter, which sounds "fine" but they don't specify any escape character making every artist with /
in their name invalid or be split in 2 (or 3 even).
ID3v2.4 specifies the splitter should be 0x00
which is way more realistic (as it's a non-human-readable character)
I'm my opinion it shouldn't split ID3 tags with /
as mostly ,
is used anyway and there are not many other players doing it. but I would like to know your opinion before hand

I just try musikcube and got this issue with group named "25/17". Suppose that is serious problem for the "AC/DC" fans too.
Old issue, but we no longer do this. Resolving!
