I have a dedicated action that will do everything I'd like except for -- well actually three things.
Is it possible to create an action to remove all ID3v1 tags -- I know I can do this via the GUI, but I'd love to have an action do it.
Also, is it possible to have an action launch a tag sources file. This would automate everything I'm asking!
Lastly, can an action do the auto-numbering wizard? I've played around with counter and regex, and I can't seem to get anything to replicate this behavior on a list of files.
Thanks,
Eric

all three things you are asking for are not possible via actions

Thanks. Is there any other way to go about doing this? Is it possible to run an external app? Or anything like that?
