That is also part of the reason why I am trying to push for a development of
a replacement for Vorbis comments. Apparently I am not doing so well, but
the idea seams to be sinking in to the list now.
It COULD be done with semicolon separated values or parentheses. Like this:
Preformer=Apophis;drummer
However this dirty parch really is not scalable. It would also leave the
question about rights, date, labels, URI (URLs for artist/label websites),
and such unresolved.
