I have noticed this a few times before and I think it is a bug. Ok I am running winamp version 2.95 (last one before version 3) and I put a bunch of mp3's into mp3tag and I looked at the comments of the songs and saw nothing. Well I deleted all the fields regardless. I then played the songs in winamp and saw comments in the ID3v2 section. I went back to mp3tag and nothing. I also noticed there was also words in the composer section in winamp and yet not in mp3tag.
Took a screen cap of winamp those 2 fields don't show any content in mp3tag.
Advise?
Dano just guessing here but it seems that the info is inside the Lyrics3v2. Is there anyway to automatically have mp3tag auto delete Lyrics3v2 tags? I know if i hit ctrl+r it will delete all the tags in there but was wondering if there was a filter way of doing it? I can't tell what has and doesnt have Lyrics3v2 tags all the time without checking in winamp.
You can change the settings for Ctrl+R in Options > Tags > Mpeg
There's the "Remove" part at the bottom. If you only select ID3v1 Mp3tag deletes ID3v1 and Lyrics3v2
You can also make a new column with a value like $if(%_tag%,%_tag_read% (%_tag%),No TAGS!) to quickly see what tag types you have.
Ok so I went to Tools/Options/Tags-Mpeg
I have these values currently: (*Denotes checked)
Read:
*ID3v1
*ID3v2
Write:
*ID3v1
*ID3v2
*ID3v2.3 UTF-16
Remove:
*ID3v1
*ID3v2
*APE
Then I right clicked on the columns and "customize columns" and added this:
New:
Name: lyrics
Value: $if(%_tag%,%_tag_read% (%_tag%),No TAGS!)
Field:
Sort by:
Which then showed me a new column with type of tag (eg. ID3v2.3 (IDrv1 ID3v2 APEv2))
Ok so in the above example there is and APEv2 tag so I would like to know how can I get rid of that and or Lyrics3v2 tags with say an action? Or maybe I should say is that even possible?
Ok So I get the first part of what you are saying but I am a bit confused about the second part.
