Is there a way to remove fields actions so things are NOT REMOVED from the metadata of the file, unless the fields filled in? All I want to do often times, is add a picture to the files and leave everything else alone. That is I load a album in the program and high-light all of the tracks so I can add the album art to all of the tracks. but I find, when I do that, the title has in it, and it KEEPS the title. The other fields like artist, are blank and all my artist information is removed from the tracks. I would like the ALL of the fields not be wiped out or change unless those fields are edited. Is there a problem with that? Thank you ---

The default setting is to keep the data unless you edit a field explicitly. But check also the field definiton e.g. in the tag panel where you can define a default value. It may be that you have set this default value to something else than . ---
