Describe the feature/enhancement

Splitting the [ID3] genres into multiple ones, done in AudioFileScanner.js, works nice but uses a fixed set of separators "/", "//", or ";" (nicely described here https://www.audiobookshelf.org/docs#book-audio-metadata).

I would really appreciate having this as a library configuration option, to get rid of the slashes just leaving the semicolon.

Can you be more specific on the issue you are coming across where you want to use a different separator?
There is a similar request to support parsing on comma https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/3127

Hello, using MediaMonkey and mp3tag to tag mostly mp3 with ID3v2 having genre strings like "Classic Guitar / Slightly distorted; Bells; Hornpipe / Slightly distorted; Concert Guitar / Out of tune", four genres:

  1. Classic Guitar / Slightly distorted
  2. Bells
  3. Hornpipe / Slightly distorted
  4. Concert Guitar / Out of tune

Unfortunately these split in ABS splits them into 5 genres

  1. Classic Guitar
  2. Slighthly distorted
  3. Bells
  4. Hornpipe
  5. Concert Guitar
  6. Out of tune

So I cannot distiguish the out of tune, distorted and normal instruments. Retaging using other separators is difficult because the genres are not only used for hearing but also for spectral analysis...
