Well, the reason is easy, I want useful data in my tags, I don't find that data useful.

Are those file tags used by MC for anything?

If one is using files from a variety of sources using different tool, it might be helpful to see which one last tagged the file. If there's ever a problem with how the tags are being written, it might be critical to be able to identify the tool and version last used. There's nothing wrong with a preference not to have them, but why does it matter? It seems too trivial to bother adding an option to suppress them.

It might be in some situations. Its not for me, i have a program that checks the tags for evntual problems which i use, and a very specific order in which i write tags. It matters because the more clutter there is in the tags, the less user-friendly they are, especially with custom-tags like this, which you usually view together with all your other tags. And frankly, they are pretty useless, If there should be no options, they should rather be removed totally. No other of my programs that tags write these tags. All I can read out of them is that MC at some time in history has written to the tag, I can extract no info about if it was last or not.

Hi,

I'm re-uping that topic as I am starting to use JRiver.

I also do not understand why this Tool Name and Tool version tags are here. No tagging software or player I used before ever wrote these tags in the file.
I would very much like to disable them as I am also in Elvis133 situation.

Could you please get back to me when possible?
Thank you for your help.
