Yes! That is what finally worked for me. I now have no APE tags in any
of my files. For the most part, the APE tags were in my older rips from
when I used to run everything through MP3Gain. But there were still some
files that had other APE tags besides the ones for replay gain. And
since I do replay gain in JRMC now, I didn't want the MP3Gain tags in
there anymore.

I set MP3 tag to only read APE and only Remove APE. Once it reads your
music directory, the Tag column will show something like:

APEv2 (ID3v1 ID3v2.3)

That means the file has APE tags, but it also has ID3 v1.1 and 2.3 (not
shown). You might not be able to see any tags listed, but they are
probably extended tags which you have to open another window to view
(Alt-T).

If it shows something like:
(ID3v1 ID3v2.3)

That means there are no APE tags.

I think if you do it by viewing only one type of tag at a time as
Nonreality suggests, you will find the root of your problem. It's not
really intuitive the way MP3tag does it, IMO.

Also it is much faster to remove tags if you set it to only remove one
type at a time. Removing my APE tags went pretty quickly. I just reset
it to show only ID3v2.3 and at a glance it tlooks like everything is
good now. Next, I'll have to do a clear and rescan in SC and hopefully
have no more APE tags messing things up.
