Ok, I user Monkey's Audio for my music backup with APEv2 Tags.

I have mp3tag set to write APEv2, and remove everything else.

This is what my file info looks like:

However, when I use the remove option on an APE file, it removes all tags including APEv2. Is this a bug?

Well, according to your screenshot, MP3Tag is set to remove APE tags as well. 😃

So, remove APE tags means remove both APEv1 and APEv2 tags?

Which means that mp3tag doesn't make a distinction between APEv1 and APEv2?

I think it should handle APE tags the same way it handles ID3 tags.

Well, ID3v1 and ID3v2 are two really different things, while APEv1 and APEv2 are almost the same.
