**Hello.**

The following characters have started appearing in the artist name: “\\”  
These characters separate artists.  
I tried to remove them. I did Action - Replace, \_ALL, \\, Replace with: ,  
but nothing happened.

Other characters can be replaced. The problem is only with these.  
Please help me solve this problem.  
The link is to a flac file where this problem occurs -

Check the extended tags dialogue - that should show that you have 2 (or more) fields of the type ARTIST.

You can merge these fields with an action of the type "[Merge duplicate fields](https://docs.mp3tag.de/actions/merge-duplicate-fields/)"

Use a different separator (e.g. `;`) than `\\`
