Hi,

Does ID3 tagging support multiple tags of the same type? I don't think I've ever seen it and I'm not sure it can be done.

Cheers,
Paul.

What I mean is I want to tag a song with multiple artists/genres. E.g. I
want to tag a song with the genre Rock and the genre Indie Rock. Or if
say a song was by a band, but they had a guest vocalist, then I'd want
two artist tags, one for the band and one for the guest vocalist.

E.g. I want to tag a song with the tag "Live" set to the value 1.

Oh yes, they work; the problem I have is e.g. in ex falso you can't sort
by file-type. So if you just want to edit the flac files you have to
control click every other song, rather than just shift clicking the
first and last.
