You can use lms-metadata to have an idea of tags parsed by lms.

From what I see:

  • In the mp3 file, there is a single value ARTIST tag with value "Test Encodings / test" so I guess you set "/" as a custom delimiter
  • In the wma file, ARTIST is set set with "Test Encodings" but Author is set with "test". This is strange as Author is meant to be used for storing artist in wma files, and WM/ARTISTS to store multiple artists.

Ok I may have a workaround but I have to make sure it does not break wma files in which artists are stored in wm/artists
