Incorrect artist tag display on specific file

[M1N0RM1N3R]

Describe the bug/crash

I use Picard to tag and Clementine to transcode/sync my master FLACs to MP3.
Almost everything shows up correctly, bar a specific single in my library, which shows the incorrect artist tag for both vocal versions. Both the FLAC in Auxio and the transcoded MP3 in other apps (including on my PC over MTP/GVFS) show up correctly.

These search results include, in order:

• the album with all 5 individual tracks
• the transcoded output from Clementine
• a copy of the transcode with audio stripped (sample file)
• the original FLAC downloaded from Bandcamp and tagged with Picard (correct)
• two alternative versions

after continuing to look through my library, this appears to affect most files with a feature in the artist tag, not just this one file.

I'm not fully sure which song file has the issue. All the artists diverge (some are singular, some multi-value, some using feat.) but I'm confused at which one is incorrect.

If it's because a singular artist / multi-value artists are showing up in place of th feat. It's probably because of a multi-value ARTISTS tag. Auxio naturally prefers that and doesn't use the 'display artists' with i.e feat syntax (although I intend to implement it, see #582) unless it has no choice but to.

I don't see those on the tagged stripped.mp3 though. Just ARTISTS w/o the feature and an artist tag with the feature. So if the issue is just the artist only being "GuitarHeroPianoZero" then that's the problem, the ARTISTS tag is overriding the main artist tag and it doesn't have the feature.

Can you elaborate on what you specifically want and on which track? @M1N0RM1N3R
