Of course not chapters and all the rest. Precisely only the tags
supported right now for the types supported now. I can do it with
mkvmerge which does a lot other things to covert to MKV/MKA. But I like
the interface and the ease of use from EasyTag.

Can't help anybody with that. But good luck with your work. And thanks
for the contributions so far. Maybe you can expand it later on to work
with documents as well. I sure know I could use some editor for
PDF/EPUB/MOBI/whatever as there are NONE that work well over different
formats.
