[Bug Report]

Problem

When the setting "Use First Artist Only" under folder structures is turned on - the metadata for {artist} and {album_artist} also will be reduced to only first artist in every file. That's somehow not useful/intuitive, as this option (at least I guess) is made for better/simpler file structure - there is imho no need to cut down metadata.

If it's intended as it is now - there should be better 2 different Options:

Use First Artist Only (only in folder naming)
Use First Artist Only (in folder and tags)

Type

Artist

Environment

SpotiFLAC Version: v7.0.9 / v7.1.0
OS: Win
