Issue description:
When splitting album artist tags in symphonium, the app recognises any symbol used to split album artists as a comma “,” instead of the actual symbol used. So if an album uses the ampersand symbol “&” it would rather show up as a comma “,” and this is the information that gets broadcast to last fm. This of course messes up scrobbles where a user would have a lot of lifetime scrobbles for an album where the album artists were previously recognised as (artistA & artistB) and are now showing up as (artistA, artistB).

Additional information:
Screenshot 1 shows the album The Price of Tea in China by Boldy James & The Alchemist as the album artist but Symfonium splits the album artists with a comma “,” instead of the “&” symbol. Screenshot 2 shows that that is how it’s being broadcast to last fm, with a 14 scrobble count on the album and a 0 scrobble count on the album artist from my end because it’s also somewhat finicky in recognising the artist like that.
Screenshot 3 shows Oto music and how it properly recognises the ampersand symbol “&” used to split the album artists and screenshot 4 shows that it’s being properly broadcast to last fm too showing a much higher scrobble count on both the album and the album artists. It also shows a biography for the album artists because it’s the officially recognised version instead of the version split with a comma.
Reproduction steps:
Play any album where there are multiple album artists that are split by an ampersand symbol"&" and look at one of the songs’ details under album artist.
