Roon not implementing the behaviours set out in https://kb.roonlabs.com/File_Tag_Best_Practice?

My query is in relation to the guidance set out here:

https://kb.roonlabs.com/File_Tag_Best_Practice

and use of the PERSONNEL tag

From the aformentioned link:

one would think having tags like:

METADATA block #2
type: 4 (VORBIS_COMMENT)
is last: false
length: 6727
vendor string: reference libFLAC 1.3.2 20170101

comment[29]: country=South Africa
comment[30]: date=1996-03-01
comment[31]: tracknumber=1
comment[32]: amgtagged=0
comment[33]: compilation=0

would give outcomes similar to the picture above, but instead all it yields is:

Where’s the problem?

Looks like your tag format does not conform to the Roon expectation.

Eg.
personnel=Flute - Kevin Davidson

Should be
personnel=Kevin Davidson - Flute

Thanks, sometimes one is too close to the issue and you see what you want to see.
