Sorry if this is explained elsewhere. I could not find it.

Tags like Composer and Style have up to several values (e.g. Michael Preston Barr\\Dion McGregor or World Fusion\\Latin Jazz\\Afro-Cuban\\Afro-Cuban Jazz\\Cuban Traditions)  
MP3tag only displays the first value in the list and I do not see the rest of the values.

I wish to convert from \\ to ; (semi-colon followed by a space) as a list separator.  
MP3tag displays all the values when saved like Michael Preston Barr; Dion McGregor  
or World Fusion; Latin Jazz; Afro-Cuban; Afro-Cuban Jazz; Cuban Traditions

I have tried many many different Action variations of:  
**Field ld** : \_COMPOSER  
**Original** : \x5C\x5C  
**Replace with** : "; "  
I have not been able to get an Action to work.

I have thousands, possibly tens of thousands of files to change.  
Doing it one by one by hand is slow/painful.  
Any assistance appreciated.
