Duet songs and collaboration tracks may not follow your artist separation rules if PlayIt Live doesn't recognise them as containing multiple artists. By default, tracks with artists like "John Smith feat. Jane Doe" are treated as a single artist entity, so they won't trigger separation rules for either John Smith or Jane Doe individually.

To fix this, you need to set up Multiple Artist Splits that tell PlayIt Live how to recognise and separate multiple artists in track titles. Go to Manage > Multiple Artist Splits and click Add New. Create splits for common collaboration terms such as:

• feat. (including the spaces before and after)
• featuring
• with
• &
• and

For example, if you create a split with the text feat. (note the spaces), PlayIt Live will recognise "Take That feat. Lulu" as two separate artists: "Take That" and "Lulu". When your artist separation playout policies run, they'll prevent tracks from Take That, Lulu, or Take That feat. Lulu from playing too close together.

You can also use Related Artists to create additional connections between artists. Go to Manage > Related Artists to link solo performers with their bands. For instance, you might link "Robbie Williams" with "Take That" so they're treated as the same artist for separation purposes.

After setting up your Multiple Artist Splits, check the Matched Artists table in the edit window to verify that your split text is correctly identifying the artists you intended. Make sure to include spaces in your split text where appropriate to avoid unintended matches.
