Thanks for a great tool! One suggestion to improve it - after erasing a really big field in the IDv2 tag there's no way to make it smaller and save space. For example, I have a set of MP3s with originally embedde bmp picture. After removing the field it leaves about 80 kb of free space in the tag. Is it possible to add that feature?

You can do it by exporting the contents of the tags to a text file, then remove the tags, and then importing the contents again.

The reason that tags are not not shrunk automatically by Mp3/Tag Studio is that it is a very time consuming operation, where the entire mp3 file has to be rewritten, and this is also the original intention with having padding in the ID3v2 tags at all, i.e. avoiding this time loss for every tagging.
