Hello there, I am in the process of identifying all songs with explicit lyrics and adding a tag so that I can identify these easily. I have run a program which has added lyrics to id3 tags. Now I want to use mp3tag to find the files with explicit words in them. I thought this would be easy, either by doing a word at a time or having a word list. However, running what I think is the correct filter includes songs without that particular word/list: ``` UNSYNCEDLYRICS HAS "example" ``` Is this wrong? Can someone please tell me why mp3tag is finding songs without a particular result in the list of filtered songs? ---
