then you have to modify the used Websource Script.  
Create a copy from the original file, open this copy in a texteditor and write every unwanted tag like this  
set ARTIST

MUSICBRAINZ\_RELEASETRACKID

In Mp3tag it's simply MUSICBRAINZ\_TRACKID as listed in the overview table at [Add mappings for more MusicBrainz tags](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/add-mappings-for-more-musicbrainz-tags/43846/9) Let me know if I'm missing …
