Hi, I've just tried to use the convert tag -\> tag function to copy all my GENRE tag fields to a new SUBGENRE field. The problem is that if I have multiple genres, e.g. Blues\\Rock, with a \\ meta-sep character, then only the first genre is copied. i.e. Blues\\Rock -\> Blues. Is there a way around this? Thanks. ---

You can get by this problem with $meta\_sep(genre,\\) instead of %genre% ---
