How can I do that? I am trying to make an action to get all artists from a split album (eg. Artist1 & Artist2) into the Album Artist field (as in 'Artist1; Artist2)  
I know the $meta\_sep function is only for a file and not for a list of files, so I couldn't do it with it. I tried exporting a txt file with a list of the artist names just once and import it to Album Artist with seperation but I can't get the output to be the name of each artist just once.

Is there a way to do what I want? Thanks for the help.
