A little old but you could use TagScanner to find the tags and redo them. Removing the tags is asking for trouble since every mp3 jukebox type program (iTunes, J. River Media Center, Windows Media Player/Center) relies on them for putting your data into its catalog. More information other than ‘track data’ is stored in tags, such as volume adjustments, play count, rating, and killing them only cripples the players ability to perform as you ask it to.

Hey Mark…For the same reasons of cleanliness, and making it easy for my mum to listen to a book, this was just what I needed. Thanks!

My question is why would you want to remove this info?

I am trying to find an app that fills all that info in for me.

I have used a combination of Musicbrainz Picard Tagger (http://musicbrainz.org/) and foobar2000 with the discogs database for a long time now. Picard Tagger is for re-tagging – not for wiping, although you can ask it to wipe and then re-write.

I can relate to what Mark is saying as I do exactly the same thing… It may seem like an overkill or long winded way of going about this process to many of you.., but to us/me it ensures that everything is kept “neat and tidy” i.e. content.., format.., etc…

Never remove “tags.” This is how you find your stuff! Techies want to take over the roll of librarians who have done this, aka cataloging, for centuries. If you don’t want to fill them out, find a program to auto populate them not kill them!

i’m with Shubby… use MP3tag.
it’s free, you can add rules (such as add 0 to track number 1-9, edit filename according to title, artist etc..)

“wipe the tags and start again” would seem like more work. Just use Media Monkey and auto-tag from the web.

I agree it’s overkill because guess what, you’ll have to tag them again eventually (at least I would, I hate untagged music).

With MediaMonkey (or any other music manager I would imagine) you could just find the RIGHT tag info and apply it: POOF! Deleted and corrected in one go!

It wasn’t an error in one tag – it was an error in ALL the tags for that album. So I decided to just wipe the tags and start again. Some people might consider it overkill but I like things to be neat and tidy. If something is a mess, I prefer just to wipe the whole lot and start again.

remove ALL tags to adjust only one error in one tag? It seems overkilll IMHO. Any tag editor who supports multiple selections could handle it, even explorer…

I use MP3tag.

Been using it forever and it really has fantastic capabilities. Playing around with getting and removing it all is amazing.

This one should be tops!
