Hi I'm an mp3tag noob, and have a basic question..... On my journey to mp3tag I stopped off at Musicbrainz, and tagged some albums, these albums don't show up will in Kodi; usually showing many versions of the same artist / album. My mp3tagged files may not be 'album' perfect, but they sure do display nicely in Kodi 😉. My question is: How do I strip out Musicbrainz tags....kodi seem to prefer these over id3s, and if I edit in mp3tag kodi still likes to read Musicbrainz tags. Cheers, Geoff ---

This ususally serves as grouping criterion for albums. In the extended tags dialogue (Alt-T) you see all fields of the currently selected files. There, you can easily delete the fields that you think that you don't need them any more. ---
