Hello,

since 2.48a it's possible to remove or change the purchase date and the account (emailadress) of mp4 purchased via iTunes (with %itunesaccount% and %itunespurchasedate%).  
Is there a way to remove the content of the field "purchased by" as well?  
If so, would I have removed all personal information then?

I know of the possibility to "create AAC version" whithin iTunes, which also removes all personal information, but that would also include a recoding of the the file.

Thanks, palmino

Why no answer at all?

If you state a suggestion then that is it. What should the answer look like?

For the time being: have you checked the extended tag dialogue to see if it shows a "purchased by" field? If so, you can probably delete it there.
