EasyTAG 2.1.6 supports a fixed set of ID3-Element-IDs. The Album Artist (TPE2) is not part of this set, but this field is unfortunately "required" for Amarok since version 2.4.0 to separate two albums with same title of different artists. A user provided a patch on the easytag mailing list to support this http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.easytag.general/580 http://pastebin.com/dtq6H66s I've added this patch to the ebuild of 2.1.3-r4 and it applies flawlessly and EasyTAG works great with Album Artist support. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run lastest version (2.1.6-r4) Actual Results: No field for the album artist exists. Expected Results: Possibility to set the Album Artist (TPE2 element). Apply patch (2nd link at pastebin) and run EasyTAG again: Album artist can be set

This seems to be fixed in 2.1.7 Can you confirm?
This was fixed in 2.1.7: http://git.gnome.org/browse/easytag/commit/?id=5e5aacfc7174aba9adfbd32238a5756b717e3490 which is in portage.
