Bug#500051: easytag: vorbis tags with hyphen get split into multiple tags

[Matt Zagrabelny]

Package: easytag
Version: 2.1.7-2
Followup-For: Bug #500051

Dear Maintainer,

It appears that this bug (500051) is still present in (Debian's)
EasyTag. I consider it a matter of data loss. I'm not sure where that
opinion falls in the greater audience of music taggers.

People who want multiple artist/album/etc. tags can use a tool like
vorbistagedit. However, easytag is silently munging tag data for the
ignorant.

Thanks for your consideration.

Sincerely,

-mz
