I am trying to import tags from a csv file. The csv file already has comma separated values in artist column. Thus the artist values get added up to the Album values. %\_path%,%artist%,%album%, this is my import format. The artist tag has multiple values separated by comma. ---

You would have edit the csv-file and enclose that part of the string that belongs to one field but has commas as part of the data in " or ' (try it) Or replace the separator-comma with another unique character, e.g | so that the comma is no longer a field separator. ---
