**Good news** : now Foobar (1.5.4 final) also sees/manages multiple TPUB and TLAN fields in mp3 files (ID3v2.3). If we fill in a new (single) field in Foobar (e.g. BPM or RG), the existing multiple fields will not be "corrupted" either (delimiter will not changed to semicolon). The only residual inconvenience: if we fill in a multiple field in Foobar (typical case: copying fields during FLAC\> MP3 conversion).

However, one interesting thing: when (after file conversion in Foobar) i separate the temporarily merged multiple fields (in the FLAC files), **$replace(%composer%,\_ DPL \_,\\)** is not enough. In the Extended Tags Panel Mp3tag now sees: **composer1** = **first\\second**. Another plus operation is required (after): **split field by separator "\"**. _(A re-save would be enough, but it can not be solved with an action.)_ So, something has changed in the way, Mp3tag works.

Later: [Mp3tag v3.06f](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455) solves the \\ problem.
