I’ve ripped all my CD’s to my computer with both id3v1 and id3v2 tags. Now I’ve come to understand, that id3v2 tags is much slower for winamp to reed, so I wonder..  
Is there a way to remove unnecessary id3v2 tags, other than [CTRL + X] and [CTRL + V]?

(Other method is needed due to the limitations of the clipboard, and the amount of my mp3 files)

in m3ptag \> help \> first steps \> removing tags from files

File \> Options \> tags \> mpeg \> "remove" \>

i suppose, uncheck remove id3v1 and keep id3v2 checked....then in mp3tag just right click the file and "remove tag"

i would test out on one file, instead of whole library just to be sure though
