I plan to add this functionality.
I want to support copying multiple tags (in flac files) into a single
tag in mp3 files.
FLAC files can hold multiple copies of the same tag, or multiple values
inside one tag (e.g. semi-colon separated)
MP3 files can have multiple tags in a frame (NULL-separated, I think) or
multiple values inside one tag.
What you're saying is that you want to just use the first value of
multiple values from your flac files and store it as a single value in
your mp3 files.
You're patch will work, but this is probably better:
if ($frameValue =~ /([^;]+)/) {
$frameValue = $1;
}
