My point in removing ID3 tags is to save space. It's likely that ID3v2 tags will take up 2k or so per track, due to padding (MP3 Tag Studio uses 1500B by default, for example), and that can add up to quite a bit of wasted space.

Wow, that's a lot of padding by default.

Even assuming 2k per tag - which is much higher than most tags I've seen - you'd still have to strip a whole lot of tags to get enough extra space for even a couple of tracks. I don't think it's really worth the extra complication involved, primarily because there are so many different types of information that can be stored in ID3v2 tags - they can't all be stored in the Empeg's database. It'd probably be a better idea to compact the tags on the way in; that way, the information that isn't stored in the Empeg's database won't be lost.

That's not to say that JEmplode will never have the capability to remove tags on the way in; just that I don't think it's going to be as high a priority as rewriting tags on the way out...
