I knew all my music had v2 tags so I didn't think to convert the v1 tags in the first place. I'll have a look into changing my command to add the convert option — I'm hoping it's just as simple as adding the argument, but I'll experiment. It depends if it overwrites perfectly good v2 tags with the v1 tags... Thanks for the insight! That’s a good point.

I seem to have some mp3 files that only have the v1 tags and so I would lose all the info with the simple stripping. I think you should first use the “–convert” feature of id3v2 in some scripted way before stripping the v1 tags.
