I have had MP3tag options set per attached screenshot for years, so that when saved the ID3v1 tags are removed. This has worked fine for ages. Recently however I have noticed it is no longer working - I am not sure which version this started from though. As you can see the ID3v1 tags remain even after I have made a change to a track and resaved it. Previously they just disappeared.

Has there been a change in this functionality recently?
Thanks

Having started my own thread with this theme (an initial search of the forum on the subject did not throw it up, unfortunately) I have exactly the same issue - even to the point of having shared an identical screen shot.
I also am sure that it used to work - and, yes - I want to remove ID3v1 tags. The question is:
What changed...
Why did it change...
Can it be put back again...
(please?)
Hi Mach109
The way to remove ID3v1 tags has certainly changed recently. I did manage to get rid of them by clicking the red X (2nd icon), but that is not what I did in the past when simply resaving the file with any tag change (not just deleting a tag) got rid of them (because of the options that had been set)
Unfortunately, I can't be definite, but would hazard a guess with the changes that happened after 3.05 was upgraded? Sorry if that is of no real help...
I cannot reproduce it there either. Which version are you using on the Mac, what are your settings at Preferences → Tag Formats, and which tag formats do the files originally contain.
I apologise - I can't remove the ID3v1 tags on the Mac version [1.2.3.(51)] either having just done a test with both types of ID3 tagger. So, both versions do not remove the ID3v1 tags.
But I have done it in the past, and it is something that I do do on every mp3 file because it 'confuses' both of the players that I use to play files with. I only want ID3v2.3 tags on everything and currently have to check and remove the unwanted ID3v1 tags in another programme.
You can also remove them in Mp3tag: ensure that ID3v1 is checked at Remove and then simply remove the Tag via File → Remove Tag (Windows) or Edit → Remove Tag (Mac).
It only removes the tag types that are actually enabled for removal.
