Hi there,

Thanks for a WONDERFUL program and also a great forum to ask questions...

I think my question above is easy enough to answer definitively.

Can I delete the ID3v1.1 tag from all my MP3 files, still leaving JUST the v2.3 tag on the file?

Do people do this? Does it make a difference?

Also, I wish to remove ALL associated cover art from my mp3 files - I have unfortunately embedded over 4,000 mp3's with cover art - can someone please tell me the quickest, most efficient way to remove the cover art, whilst still being able to keep ALL the v2.3 tag data?

Any information provided will be most appreciated! Thanks again...
