What do you mean by this. You make edits to the tags on the 4th disk, but they don't "stick" (old values show up?). And you're talking here about the fields in the tags (ALBUM, ARTIST, etc) and NOT the actual file names (e.g., c:/music/artist/album/01 - tracktitle) Ikabob;682271 Wrote: > > Also, is it possible to delete a tag on all the tracks and start over > on a disc-tag? several ways, but perhaps the easiest is the open these tracks in mp3tag, select them all, right click, choose extended tags, then click the "X" to the right that removes the field entirely from all those tracks. You need to do this for each of the fields that show up (artist,album, etc.), but should be quick and easy. Ikabob;682271 Wrote: > And also, what exactly does Convert tag-filename do?
