It didn't provide any information to me aside from the animated face as
it ripped.  Once the rip/encode was finished, there was no information.

I'm sure the data is available from the cdparanoia backend, but Grip
doesn't seem to use it other than to animate the face.  Which is not
very useful, IMHO.

Maybe I'm not used to how the program operates yet, but I was unable to
do this.

Remove ID3v1 tags, keeping ID3v2 tags.  Removing APEv2 tags, keeping
ID3v2 tags.

Also I occasionally get some promo MP3s off an MP3 blog, they contain
lots of "non-standard" fields like COMPOSER, BITRATE, ITUNNORM, etc.
that I'd like to get rid of.  I don't see how EasyTag is able to access
these sorts of fields so I can get in there and delete them.

Often these same files are tagged with both ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags, with
the ID3v1 tags truncated.  SlimServer doesn't work well with this.

I've never done that with Audacity.  I'll have to check it out.
