I got hosed in another application that turned out to be because I had ID3 tags in my FLAC files along with my VorbisComment tags. I'd love to be able to delete the non-VorbisComment tags in my FLAC files, but can't seem to be able to do that in Mp3tag without also deleting my VorbisComment tags.

I'd like to suggest that Mp3tag add under options/tags a FLAC breakout that allows the selection of reading, writing, and removing ID3v1, ID3v2, APE, APEv2, and Vorbis Comment tags, similar to the options breakouts provided for mpeg and Ape, Mpc, and other file formats.

I'm not the first to encounter this issue, as I found in the following thread:

[Making sure FLAC files have only native FLAC tags?](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/9414/1)

select all files, tag cut, tag paste, et voila!
