After selecting Tag Source (I use musicbrainz), there is an "Additional Information" panel with ASIN, publisher, and artistsort values. Everytime I select OK to write the tag info like Title and Artist, etc, it also writes in this unwanted info. Is there a way to disable them so that it does not get written in by default?

**At the very bottom of the script add:**

```
set "artistsort"
 set "publisher"
set "asin"

```

etc, you get the jist.

**Make sure you don't write:**

```
set "artistsort" set "publisher" set "asin"

```

In one line and you're 'set'.. Pun intended. ;]

I think I got it!

I went into my Musicbrainz.src file with notepad and at the very end of it, I enterred those 3 lines like you mentioned. Whenever I search for albums, that box with the three values are empty.

Thanks a bunch!

Exactly how it should work.

PS: You will never use notepad again when you try notepad++ (It's free and 10x better than notepad). [http://notepad-plus-plus.org/](http://notepad-plus-plus.org/)
