Does this link still hold true for local metadata support?

I understand that it doesn't support mult-value genres, but does it support multi-value Artist tags?

I've heard good things of BluOS but its support for local media is really putting me off; If they had worked as UPnP renderers at least I could have worked around it.

  No - The Artist tag is for the song Artist (The Arkells ft. K. Flay) while the Album Artist Tag is for the Album (Arkells). This is ID3 standard.

  Thanks for responding, but I know the difference between Artist and AlbumArtist, I was asking specifically if BluOS supported multi-value Artist (track) tags according to the spec, be it ID3v2.3, ID3v2.4 or Vorbis.

  And to my first question, is this an exhaustive list of the tags supported.

  Thanks

   

  EDIT: I've just found this link and it appears there isn't even multi-value Artist support! I could probably manage without genre but Artist is fundamental. It's a shame as BluOS looked like it had potential.

  Maybe I'm missing something but despite the answer " I will bring this to the attention of our development team for their consideration to see if we can work around this in a future firmware update." from a 3 years old post about multi value in bluOs, it looks like the new version (Bluos 4) still doesn't support this feature.
  
  Sad...
