About the MP3 Tag Remover
MP3 files carry ID3 tags with the title, artist, album, comments, encoder software and often a large embedded cover image. Recordings from phones and recorders may include the device name and recording date.
FileStripe removes ID3v2 tags at the start of the file and ID3v1 and APE tags at the end, then hands back the original audio frames untouched, so there is no quality loss. For WAV files it removes LIST/INFO, ID3, bext and iXML chunks.
