[Matroska-devel] Question about tags

[smeulf at gmx.fr]

Hello Steve, Hello all,

Thanks for this answer, it's now all clear. I have a last (I hope) extra 
question about tags.

For the following tag, does the summary for TargetTupeValue=70 is replaced 
by the summary for TargetTypeValue=50 ?

I expect I can have a summary for each TargetTypeLevel, but I'm not sure if 
it's valid or not. Can you confirm how it will work ?

Rgds.

As the specs say "Multiple items should never be stored as a list in a
single TagString. If there is more than one tag of a certain type to
be stored, then more than one SimpleTag should be used. "

So you should use as many items you need for the same type of element.

If some genre are missing, you can add your own.
