MP3Tag worked for me, trying one m4a file. But I had a problem using <space><slash><space> as the separator, though I was doing some hex-edit and I could have made an error.

Anyway this is what worked for me:

Load file in MP3Tag

Set the ALBUM ARTIST tag using the credit string
In Extended tags:

Create a new Tag ALBUMARTISTS
Add the data in format artist1|artist2
Create a new tag MusicBrainz Album Artist Id (note capitialization and spacing)
Add the data in format AAMBID1|AAMBID2
Create a new tag MusicBrainz Album Id (again note cap/spacing)
Add the data in format AlbMBID

So in all 4 tags. Ensure after adding the tags in extended tags that MP3 does not create multiples of the tags (multiple tags normally happen only if you use the MP3Tag separator \\ but you can change that).

Note: in my MP3Tag I couldn't get it to capitalize the tags correctly, but that may be because I already have the tags available for APE and FLAC (use all caps for these). So I had to edit in a hex editor, but again that may be I don't work enough in MP3Tag. And using underscore instead of space is a No-Go.

Finally in my advancedsettings.xml I have

Code:

        <artistseparators>
            <separator>|</separator>
        </artistseparators>

After doing that I got the file scanned correctly.
