Bug ID: 506771
Summary: Please consider adding support for detecting and
optionally removing Lyrics3v2 tags from MP3 files.
Classification: Applications
Product: kid3
Version First 3.9.x
Reported In:
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
***
Some older MP3 files contain Lyrics3v2 tags, which can cause issues with some
audio players or tagging tools. These tags are no longer widely used and are
often unwanted.
Currently, Kid3 does not appear to detect or remove Lyrics3v2 tags. Other tools
like rmlyrics3 exist, but integrating this capability directly into Kid3 would
streamline workflows and improve tag management.
✅ Proposed Feature
Detect Lyrics3v2 presence (optional visual indicator).
Provide an option to remove Lyrics3v2 (via UI or a context menu).
Preferably no need to install external tools — handled via Mutagen or internal
logic.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Removing obsolete or conflicting tags helps maintain clean metadata and reduces
compatibility issues. Users seeking a GUI-based solution would benefit from not
having to rely on CLI tools for this purpose.
