Here's a patch that stops the flac binary from writing empty tag fields.
At least in Windows world these come to files by accident. CD extraction
programs pass all possible metadata entries they allow setting in the UI
to flac binary and most of the time most fields are empty when basic
info like artist, album, title, track number and release date are the
only fields that are set.
