Package: easytag
Version: 2.1.4-1
Severity: grave

(severity grave, because easytag "causes data loss")
(similar to #402346, which should be "grave" as well)

I have ogg vorbis sound files with "date" tags, e.g.

date=1936-02-24

When I edit the tags with easytag, "1945" is shown as "year",
the complete date is not shown. After saving changes, the
original date information is destroyed without any warning!

DATE=1936

IMHO, easytag should at least warn the user, that it will
destroy (maybe valuable) information!

Another example for the destructive behaviour of easytag:

A ogg vorbis file with two genre tags:

genre=Tango
genre=Milonga

This is shown as "Tango - Milonga" in easytag, but unfortunately
also saved in that format:

GENRE=Tango - Milonga
