That won't work. None of the remove tag settings are for Flac files. When you do a 'Remove Tags' operation on Flac files it will remove _all_ tags, including the Flac tag. But I was also wrong about how this could be done in Mp3tag. When you perform a 'Save' the ID3 tags aren't removed. According to the program's author, the only way to do it is to do a Remove Tags (Ctrl-R) and then an Undo Remove operation (Ctrl-Z), which is essentially what whdean said originally. http://www.anytag.de/forums/index.php?showtopic=6789&st=0&p=30461&#entry30461 On my system this seems pretty fast - doing 9000 files would probably take about 10-15 minutes at most. But I'd be hesitant to do the entire library all at once like this. Once you do the Remove Tags operaton, all your files will have _no_ tagging information until the Undo Remove. If something goes wrong you're pretty well screwed, so I wouldn't try this unless you have a good recent backup of your whole library. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47712 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
