I've been removing the "Album Artist" field from all my tags because I don't like the way some devices use it and some don't. So in order to not have any inconsistencies, I just decided to remove it altogether.
I'm doing this in bulk and so far I have found two ways to accomplish this. First is by loading all the files into Mp3tag > [ALT+T] > select "ALBUMARTIST" field > [DELETE] > click "OK". The second way is to load all the files in Mp3tag > Quick Actions > Remove fields > ALBUMARTIST > OK. The first method is much slower than the second and appears to have to rewrite each file one by one, whereas the second method seems to be much more efficient and finishes in seconds!
Can anyone explain what the difference is between using the two methods and what the pros/cons are of using one method over the other? I'm just curious on what's going on in the background that makes one method take longer than the other, when both seem to provide the same results.
