albumartists separator is \NULL #5750

Open
@T-o-m-H-u

Description

@T-o-m-H-u

The separator in the albumartists tag is handled as \␀.

Picard and ffprobe show the correct ; in the tag.

I can handle the separated fields like so.
%first{${albumartists},2,0,\␀,---}
The docs imply ; as the correct separator though.

Running this command in verbose (-vv) mode:

$ beet -vv list -a sonicw
Parsed query: AndQuery([AnyFieldQuery('sonicw', ('album', 'albumartist', 'genre'), SubstringQuery)])
Parsed sort: NullSort()
