+# Safe: only matches " / " with surrounding spaces, so Au/Ra and HUNTR/X
+# (no spaces around the slash) are left completely untouched.

+# Usage:
+#   bash fix-artist-separators.sh [music_dir]           -- dry run (no changes)
+#   bash fix-artist-separators.sh [music_dir] --apply   -- actually modify files
