Duplicate tags problem.

Support
#1

I'm a bit new to this - I am using FLAC encoding, and was hoping to add tags for Composer, Performer, Conductor, Orchestra, and hopefully a few of each. I have read that it is recommended to have several of these tags, and I was hoping to do this and use Mp3tag's $meta() function to combine them into a database file.

I used the options editor to add these to the tag panel, but when I edit the fields and save them, the later fields over write the earlier ones:

Before saving:
Composer: test1
Composer: test2
Composer: test3

After saving

Composer: test3
Composer: test3
Composer: test3

Have I done something wrong, or is there a work around?

#2

Yes, just use one field and \\ as separator for multiple values, e.g., test1\\test2\\test3.

#3

Thank you, Florian. May I ask what is the advantage of using \\ as separator? What will that do for me? (Sorry if this is dumb question).

#4

The \\ is not stored in the tags, but tells Mp3tag to create a separate field instead. Just have a look at the extended tags dialog [Alt+T] after you've saved a tag using the \\ separator.
