Removing Album Art from multiple files

[barryl]

I can't figure out how to remove album art from multiple selected files. Switching to single edit allows me to do it, but then I have to go through each file.

Q1: Is there any way of batch removing album art?
Q2: When album art is removed, is the file space reclaimed?

Here's a DSP suggestion. Resize &| resample album art. It seems as if some sites (such as eMusic) are now embedding ridiculously large album covers into the MP3 files. I've been manually changing 600x600 artwork taking 560kb down to 300x300 taking about 28kb.

Use the [ID Tag Update] utility codec, go to the "Deletions" tab, click "single Tag", then pick [Album Artwork] from the drop-down.

Thanks...I didn't think of the Tag Update codec. Is the file space reclaimed? I noticed that some other utilities leave the space intact but not occupied by a tag.

I'm not sure, that would have to be something Spoon would have to answer.

I tried it and it seems as if the file space is reclaimed....which is great
