Duplicate tags except the last one are ignored

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Which version of Cantata?
1.4.50

Which build? KDE, Qt4, Qt5, Windows, Ubuntu, Mac?
KDE

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Search for a song with several "Artist" tag or create one using kid3 or your 
favourite music tagger.
2. If you created the song add it to your MPD database.
3. When you play that song in Sonata only one tag, seems the last one, is 
displayed.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When there are duplicated tags all tags must be displayed like other players 
did.

Please provide any additional information below.
Is common to use "," characters in genres "Rock, Pop" or in artists "Santana, 
Peter Green" or, even worst, "Santana & Peter Green" because old Tag1 does not 
support duplicate tags.

But sadly there are names in music industry with "," and "&" characters like 
"Beck, Bogert & Appice" or "Simon & Garfunkel" and sometimes names are written 
"Cranberries, The" instead "The Cranberries". 

This kind of situations can't be handled using only one tag so this is the main 
reason to use duplicate tags.

Cantata does not support multiple tags, except for the genre tag. This is the 
way it has been since the very first release. And, AFAIK, most music players 
also only support one artist, etc, tag.

Sorry, but I have no intention, or motivation, to change this. If its a major 
issue for you, please feel free to provide a patch - Cantata is open source 
after-all. Failing this, I suggest you use another MPD front-end.
