For example, if the artist tag in the FLAC file is "Disturbed", the encoded Ogg file is tagged as "Disturbed\\Disturbed." The comment contains "Encoded with LameXP\\", followed by the original comment from the source FLAC file.
This bug does not occur if the Normalization Filter is enabled.

Hello, Yonah.
If the selected encoder is capable of reading the input file format directly (
and if no filters are enabled!), then LameXP takes a "shortcut" and just invokes the encoder directly on the input file – instead of going the usual "decoder → filters → encoder" route with intermediate WAV files. Now my
guess is that, when OggEnc2 (i.e. the Ogg/Vorbis encoder) is reading your input FLAC file
directly, then it keeps the meta tags found in the original FLAC and also
appends the tags specified explicitly by LameXP – rather than "replacing" redundant tags. Not sure whether this is a bug or a feature. Enabling the "normalization" filter probably fixes this, because the "shortcut" can no longer be used when filters are enabled
[EDIT]
Okay, I think it's a feature and we need to use the
--discard-comments command-line switch of OggEnc2 to get the desired result. A new version is underway...
