I have this one file that contains some strange tags, which seem to only be detectable by my Squezebox server software. I cannot get MP3Tag to read or edit them. I guess a picture is worth a thousand words. See all those tags at the bottom (TALB, TCON, TDRC etc)? What are they and how can I get MP3Tag to edit/delete them?
Thanks.

For reference, this is all that MP3Tag shows.

TALB, TCON, ... are ID3v2 tags. But Mp3tag does not support them on flac files.
It can only remove them.

You can see all the possible tags and a description for [id3v23 on this page](http://www.id3.org/id3v2.3.0/).

Right, so how exactly do I remove them?
Edit: Spelling.

Select the files and press Ctrl+X and then Ctrl+V
It removes all tags (flac+id3v2) and writes back only the flac tags.

That worked like a charm. Thank you so much, dano! 🙂
