Since foobar started eating Winamp's lunch, APE tags are proliferating like crazy. I CAN'T STAND 'EM. PLEASE, PLEASE add extra features to "Mass clean up tags".
In keeping with MP3TS's function of being the ID3 editor, there'd be several ways to do it WITHOUT being APE tag aware. e.g.
1) REMOVE ALL non-ID3 Tags
2) REMOVE ALL non-audio frames with options:
a) Preserve ID3v1 checkbox
b) Preserve ID3v2 checkbox
These can clean up all sorts of other tag garbage e.g. Lyrics tags etc. MP3TS can remain oblivious to the actual content, ie. if it's NOT audio and it's NOT ID3, trash it.
This is becoming a MAJOR PITA, I hate having to use MP3TAG to do a job that MP3TS should be able to handle.
This is a BIGGY, and getting BIGGER with every Winamp user that switches to foobar and doesn't switch off the default APE tagging...
many thanks,
tB

Ok, I will try to take a serious look at it for an upcoming version then, if you insist.

I second this. I want to use MP3TS exclusively, and this is one of the few tasks that requires using another program. Please add this feature to the next release.
