This is at best a specialized re-purposing that really shouldn't be. Maintaining a branch / fork for this is probably appropriate. > > Lastly, I'd also like to point out the TagLib documentation, that specifically mentions a conversion from 'Album Artist' in 'AlbumArtist' for compatibility with other tags: https://taglib.org/api/classTagLib_1_1APE_1_1Tag.html#af77a10659fbb0018228420ad6de501e1. 'Disc' is also converted from APE, but you have to dig into the code to find this: https://github.com/taglib/taglib/blob/master/taglib/ape/apetag.cpp#L211 I just double-checked, TagLib allows both. It converts the "Disc" field to the "Disc Number" in the property map, but also successfully reads from "Disc Number" field directly. Anyway, most of this special handling of mimetypes goes away with D18826 <https://phabricator.kde.org/D18826>, where TagLib will do the conversion automatically.
