Option for writing ID3v1 tag along with ID3v2 tags

[ReverendEntity]

Bug Description

Every time I load a track from the library into a deck for playback, it erases the ID3v1 tag written in that track's data. I discovered this after I closed the software and was editing tag information in a different program (Tag & Rename). I like having both v1 and v2 tags in my files because some software will only read one or the other.

Version

2.3.3.8488

OS

Windows 10 Pro

This behaviour is controlled here:

mixxx/src/sources/metadatasourcetaglib.cpp

Line 350 in 4916431

modifiedTagsBitmask |= TagLib::MPEG::File::ID3v2;

Using:
https://taglib.org/api/classTagLib_1_1MPEG_1_1File.html#acfe8c97e6d551f5bc1f588d3c2bf5bf5

Since it is in general a good idea not store the same information in deferent places. I consider the current behaviour as correct and your request a feature request (I cannot confirm) and that should not be not default.

Which of your programs is not able to read ID3v2 from 1998?

The new save() method allows to preserve existing tags even when not saved.
