Has anyone got any ideas as to the cause of this odd failure? I told Extended Tags to delete a bunch of fields [here](http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/9774/995q.png)from about 18,000 tracks, but after the operation had completed, opening Extended tags again showed all the fields still present. I repeated three times - same result. I then powered the machine off for the night, this morning powered on and tried again - this time it worked.
