Personal Data Stored In m4a files

<< < (4/4)

I found time to get my library cleaned up. Python, avconv, AtomicParsley, and some trial and error took care of the m4a's. mp3tag took care of all other fields using "Actions" and "Remove fields except". I also had a handful of FLACs that had FLAC tags as well as id3v2 tags. Having both tags makes the FLAC files incompatible with android. They were fixed by using mp3tag to remove tags, then undo, then save. It's very nice to have all the junk tags gone, and complete compatibly with all of of my devices. It's worth noting that doing this is a good way to screw up one's entire collection. I backed up first and tested on small batches of files.

There is a new freemium muti-tool for windows called AudioZip, available on https://audiozip.net,
which shows always all frames inside mp4/m4a-files and many others.
The personal data can be easily removed there.
It’s a complete music manager software!

Shortly after my last post in this thread in 2018 I discovered Foobar had a plugin called Tag Sanitizer. I think it is now built in. It works by having you make a list of fields to NOT delete, then it clears everything remaining. It is exactly what i was looking for. I run all of my audio through it before importing into MC.
