Describe the feature/enhancement

when pasting multiple authors or narrators, they should be split into seperate entries.

we should decide on one split character.
maybe a comma is not the best, because somtimes the name of one author is split like "lastname, firstname".
a semicolon could work better.
or only split with comma, if there is more than one.

I implemented this using semicolons. It will work for every multi select input with user input. Narrators, authors, tags and genres

As shown in the example it will not include anything already there

input_paste
