Good day.

How do I get my Mp3Tag to strip a certain character of a field?

Eg.  
I rename most of my music filenames by\>\> %artist% - %Album% - %Title%

But at times my "Artist field" is a bit messed up it might have sum unwanted spaces in it

eg.

```
"Elvis Presly "

```

As you see it has 5 spaces! and if I were to rename the file feature i would get something like  
"Elvis Presly - %album% - %title%.mp3

I would like Mp3Tag to realize that if the last character is a Space (in every field, Artist, Album, Title ect..) to remove/strip the space character out of the tag!

Thanks in advance!
