Not AFAIK. See this thread for possible reasons. > [@Re: Adding native FLAC padding column and removal](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/re-adding-native-flac-padding-column-and-removal/60372): > > A long time ago, two years in fact, I created this thread: I had asked for something to be added in MP3tag: to be able to see and remove padding from FLAC files natively within MP3tag. As you know, adding a cover art to FLAC files creates the necessary space within the file to accomodate it. However, what you may not know, removing the cover art does NOT remove the extra space that the cover art needed. You need to use metaflac.exe to sanitize the tags. So, I would like to ask Florian where … It may be an idea to add a column for the actual padding or filter for files that have to much of it and then treat only those. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/cover-art-and-flac-padding-removal/64394)._
