(Florian, congrats for the best tag editor I've seen).
Some of my files are tagged "FLAC(FLAC ID3V2)"
Is it confusing ?
Which one is the best : FLAC or ID3V2 ?
I guess I could suppress the unusefull one.
I use custom tags for classical music over Slimserver, as per :

It is a bit heavy, but is it worth while ?

Mp3tag only supports writing vorbis comments on flac files (shown as FLAC) which is also the only official tag format for flac.

- I understand. So, this tag labelled "FLAC(FLAC ID3V2)" simply means "FLAC" ?
I tried to erase the item "(FLAC ID3V2)" via "options-tag" but the infos are only in it.
At less, that means that there is no conflict 😉

It means file has FLAC and ID3v2 tags and FLAC tag is displayed.
There are no tag options for flac.
You can try Ctrl+X and then Ctrl+V to remove ID3v2.

- OK. But it removes "FLAC", leaves "ID3V2" _and infos are lost_.
