If i've got a dozen different songs that I'm altering to set a particular format (song title, artist, album title, etc) from different artists, is there a way mp3tag can look for and remove common words from those titles? In this case, the term "explicit" shows up in a number of song titles or album titles and i'd like to remove it. I know the music has language in it and I don't care to have the term in the title. Can i have that word(s) removed from all titles, wherever it's found? Without having to go manually edit them afterwards. thanks so much, Strich ---
