Could you just clarify this for me a little as I sometimes use EasyTag. My 
understanding is that this problem would only apply to. mp3 fiiles but not to 
.ogg or .flac files as those are typically tagged with ogg vorbis comments. I am 
a little unsure of this, as I seem to recall having files with both sets of 
tags at one time before stripping away the ID3's.

Are are you aware of any issues regarding the use of EasyTag to edit vorbis 
comments in .flac's or .ogg's ?
