Description da-gnomebugs-14 2013-12-09 09:19:13 UTC 
When tagging FLAC files easytag splits tags into multiple parts when using the string " - " (with whitespaces). This is hardcoded as a C macro in flac_tag.c. For example if I specify the title "Atto Terzo - Scena 5 & 6 - Recitativo Argante" then three title flags are created: "Atto Terzo", "Scena 5 & 6" and "Recitativo Argante".

I guess this is intended behaviour (although I don't know a usecase) but many music players (i.e. Amarok) don't recognize this format and only display "Atto Terzo".

It would be very helpful to deactivate this behavior or probably better: be able to chose the separation string.

I found this in easytag-2.1.7-r2 and easytag-2.1.8 on gentoo.
