I was wrong about what Mp3tag is doing. The Ctrl+R is actually just
emptying the first VORBIS_COMMENT block of all comments. When you do
another save it populates that block with comments created by the tag
values in all of the other blocks. That's why if you keep trying to
edit and save the file in Mp3tag the number of repeated TITLEs (and
other fields in the Tag Panel) keeps increasing.
You could also use metaflac to delete only the duplicate comment blocks
and keep your tagging data, but it's arguably even more tedious than
removing them all and retagging from scratch. You'll then most likely
still have duplicate fields within the remaining block, so would have to
remove those in Mp3tag.
If you want to do this, use metaflac to get a list of comment metadata
blocks in a file:
Code:
--------------------
metaflac --list --block-type=VORBIS_COMMENT [FLACfile]
--------------------
Check the output and decide which blocks you want to remove. Note that
each one is numbered. Then use something like:
Code:
--------------------
metaflac --remove --block-number=3,4,5,6 --block-type=VORBIS_COMMENT
--dont-use-padding [FLACfile]
--------------------
