I have the word "unassigned" repeated many times in my id tags, sometimes as many as four in one file. Is it possible to remove certain keywords from multiples files in one instance, and if so how.
Great program BTW. Thanks!

Sure, simply use the string replace function of the casefix & replace utility, from e.g. the direct tag manipulation tool.

Or, you can use a filtered sweep with the mass tagging tool.

I'm still having trouble. I dont suppose you have a dummy walkthrough for this particular problem? I having trouble navigating to the afore mentioned fixes. The percent sign, that is the command parameter? Leave that and put "unassigned" next to it? For instance if the file name is "Alan Parsons Project - Unassigned - Unassigned - Unassigned - Time.mp3" ...what to do? If that same file has an id3 tag that has "Unassigned - Unassigned -" in the title, and artist is ok, what to do? Sorry for being so dumb, but I have lotsa files and I don't want to screw them up as I am a DJ.   :ashamed:

A very good way to learn using Mp3/Tag Studio is to make copies of some mp3 files, and practise on them. If you would happen to make some mistake that alters the filenames or tags in some undesirable way, you can simply just delete the copy of the file and make a new one (not to mention the preview and undo features of Mp3/Tag Studio).

Anyway, e.g. for the second suggested method above, use the filter to only process songs having "Unassigned" as artist, and run the "Mass clean" tool with this filter, deleting the artist tag field. Then repeat for all affected tag fields. See what I mean?
