<desc>Split a single tag field into multiple fields when you save Ogg and
FLAC files</desc>
</info>
<title>Split tag fields when saving</title>
<p>In Ogg and FLAC files, it is possible to have more than one
<link xref="tag">tag field</link> of each type. For example, if two artists
performed a song, there can be two artist fields in the tag, one for each
artist. <app>EasyTAG</app> automatically reads the extra fields, combining
them together and showing them as if they were a single field.</p>
<p>Many applications do not read the multi-value field correctly, so the
default configuration is to save using a single field per entry. If the
application that you are using supports multiple field of one type, you can
configure EasyTAG to split fields when you save the file. Fields will
automatically be split whenever " - " occurs in the field. For example, in
the field "David Bowie - Queen", two fields would be saved: "David Bowie" and
"Queen".</p>
<p>To split fields when you save the files:</p>
<steps>

</item>
<item>
