Dear Florian, you know why I always considered your program to be the best tag editor of all? Because all other programs follow the incredibly dangerous logic of **discarding unknown/uninterpretable/unhandable data** , e.g. rare id3v2 fields, etc. I always appreciated that you honoured a safe approach, by means of the fail-safe principle **"if I don't know the data, leave as is"**. So up to now, I never saw your program discarding any existing albumart, lyrics, tags, user-defined fields, rare id3v2 fields, etc. Therefore I was quite unsettled when I realized, that your program deletes lyrics3v2 without notice! And what's even worse is that undo can't bring them back!! I always felt safe using your program, now I am insecure again. steps to reproduce the problem: 1. open .mp3 with lyrics3v2 2. delete id3v1 tag ==\> lyrics3v2 is gone! 3. undo ==\> lyrics3v2 doesn't come back! Please don't do this! Please provide additional checkboxes in **options \> tags \> mpeg** for the user to decide how he/she wants to handle lyrics3v2. If you can, please add support for displaying the lyrics. [http://www.id3.org/Lyrics3v2](http://www.id3.org/Lyrics3v2) If not, please at least don't delete them without warning, but let the user choose. Many thanks! PS: Yes, I know there is USLT, but that's not a reason for deleting or not supporting lyrics3v2 --- _[View the full topic](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/x-dont-delete-lyrics3v2/10401)._
