I understand your point however I have two problems with that way of working.
- having edit song twice to set correctly the field is annoying especially if you have many songs to correct. Maybe check box with artist to indicate if you want to split or not?
- also you allow the field to remain unsplitted but there is no way to "unsplit it" once it is separated. Let say I have "Simon & Garfunkel" that somehow became 2 artists. If I would like to come back to single artist it's not possible since when you edit it becomes separated automatically. SO I see an inconsistency here. AT one point you allow artists to remain together in one but you don't allow to set them that way.

Aprzybylo,
Re. the first problem, I agree that editing tracks twice is annoying, however, this shouldn't be a common scenario since the splitter should be a character that isn't commonly used.
Re. the second problem, there's definitely a problem that the same splitter can mean 2 different things, depending on the state of the tags when the track was scanned. I recognize that this is a problem, but as stated in the bug, making this change at this stage of 3.1 development is too risky.
