Hi,

First thanks a lot for this amazing program.

I would like to know if it's possible to remove ONLY the old Lyrics3v2 tag from mp3s files or add an option to removes "all none ID3/APE tags" on mp3s, always keeping the existing ID3/APE tags.

With Lyrics3v2 I mean something like...

LYRICSBEGININD0000200ETT00049Jackie (East West Connection Twisted Bossa Remix)CRC0000837DC2A91000094LYRICS200

... at the end of the files just before the ID3v1 tag.

This tag is a little annoying since it's no contemplated by mp3 integrity/quality checkers like Encspot or MP3check. For example in Encspot the presence of this tag produce that mp3s display a crc error in the LAME info tag (like if the music data would be altered), MP3check report "invalid bytes at end = X bytes" when it finds files with this tag.

This lyric tag seems to be not used any more by most well known taggers, ID3 & APE have their own field for lyrics so why keep this old outdated tag?

Thanks again for make such a great program and best regards.

It gets removed as soon as you remove an ID3v1 tag (you can write this tag back using the Undo feature).

Kind regards,
