The 2nd is important for people with oddball devices or other programs... instead of trying to restrict MM to only certain things, the user should have alot more control over tagging aspects so that they can easily configure MM to fit in well with other applications/devices that are not as flexible and powerful as MM.
I agree strongly. I'd never though about it before. I just checked out the ZVM forum on creative.com, and there is no discussion growing on the multiple genre/artist topic. All of them end with "unfortunately, not supported on ZVM." But what if later they start to support it - either on ZVM or on some new device, but they will use sth else then semicolon? Or, what if any main producer (Apple, Creative, MS,...) will support a different delimiter than MM would now agree on and also different from id3v2. IMO, they should go towards id3v2.3 (v2.4) format (so should MM, that was already mentioned above by REIKA - thanks for this). But finally, there is only a market agreement and a market decision. I hope I'm too scared, only.
I wish MM would belong to tools with such a flexibility -- to choose a delimiter on user's own.
BTW, there is already a function while synchronizing -- to synchronize only the first genre/artist. Does it mean MM actually cuts the tags inside the tracks? I believe there is only a step forward to create another line with: "Choose delimiter for the synchronized files: <space>".... In this sense, nobody has to implement a variable delimiter into MM, just to make him learn a new way of export (and then checking on the device)
