Sorry, my intention wasn't to support reopening of any Amarok bug. I've
never used Amarok, so I don't know how does it (not) handle.

I was only replying to the e-mail in taglib-devel. And from this point
of view is the comment:

"Hmm you see, we support many tag formats, and we have to make it all
fit into one unified GUI. If ogg supports multiple Artist tags, but none
of the other formats support it, then I don't see how we would support
this."

wrong, because all other file formats implementations in TagLib
(ID3v2.4, APEv2, Vorbis comments) do support it.
