In current docs, it is never explained how embedded metadata is expected to be saved in files.

A. For example, the following metadata excerpt follows the standard conventions by saving the artists into a list called artist.
{
"tracknumber": [
"1/2"
],
"album": [
"FAKE HEART"
],
"artist": [
"KIRA",
"Asteroid",
"Kagamine Rin",
"Kagamine Len"
],
"date": [
"2024"
],
"title": [
"FAKE HEART"
],
"albumartist": [
"KIRA"
],
"discnumber": [
"1/1"
]
}
B. However, the following metadata excerpt does not follow standard conventions, instead, saving every accredited artist to the same entry and separating them with commas.
{
"tracknumber": [
"1/2"
],
"album": [
"FAKE HEART"
],
"artist": [
"KIRA, Asteroid, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len"
],
"date": [
"2024"
],
"title": [
"FAKE HEART"
],
"albumartist": [
"KIRA"
],
"discnumber": [
"1/1"
]
}
By default, when Jellyfin parses metadata that looks like [B], it creates a single artist named "KIRA, Asteroid, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len" instead of separating the artists using the commas and creating multiple artist pages, like it would when it sees metadata that looks like [A].
This behaviour can be changed by enabling Use custom tag delimiter or Prefer ARTISTS tag if available in the library settings.
However, the docs do not contain any information on how to correctly save embedded metadata, or how to enable Use custom tag delimiter or Prefer ARTISTS tag if available in the case that the user cannot, or wishes not to, edit every affected files' metadata.
