Obviously missing values will need to be dealt with.

Can you explain this in a bit more detail?

Unless I've got completely mixed up, in the Artist tag he's storing:
TRACK 1: Elton John & Dua Lipa
TRACK 2: Elton John, Young Thug & Nicki Minaj

In the Artists tag he's storing:
TRACK 1: Elton John
TRACK 1: Dua Lipa
TRACK 2: Elton John
TRACK 2: Young Thug
TRACK 2: Nicki Minaj

So doesn't what I suggested tell MinimServer to just rename both tags so now the multi-value tag is Artist?
Then he can use the other tag for display purposes so he can retain the 'feat'/'&' (I know that's really important to some people).

There's a lot of artist(s) and album artist(s) going on here which is why I've just told him to rename it to ConcatArtists.
