Hi!

So you mean that if tag has such form: Hans Zimmer / James Newton Howard, then register 'Hans Zimmer' and 'Newton Howard' separately in Neutron's database? By the way is there any some agreement/standard which symbol is used for separation? If I am not mistaken I also saw multiple artists separated by comma too.

Best regards,
Dmitry.

This is a very old post. But to date it appears Neutron is still not able to sort or display multiple Artists, genres, or composers within the metadata. The "official" spec is for a null separator. Some tag editor applications use a semicolon ";" or double backslash "\\" to visually show this, but internally these tags are actually separated by a null.

Another older thread suggested that multiple fields like this were on the to-do list. Is there any chance this will get supported any time soon?

Would this be really helpful ? A proper filter might help more, where I could e.g select for an artist name, and only see what fits '*Hans Zimmer*'.

Unfortunately a filter won't help. For tracks with multiple artists, genres, composers, etc. Neutron only shows the first field from each category. Without support for the extra fields there is no way to search or filter for them.

Well, I mean a proper filter with wildcards. Of course all of the multiple artists would have to be included in the tags in one way or another.
