I use winamp 2.81 and I had all these stupid tags. Can I make winamp delete them automatically or just ignore them without doing it myself for every song?

yeah, those are the ones. I name all my files very distinctly and I hate having to change all the tags...

Just search for "mp3 tag" or something in that line in the forums to get a program that can edit MP3 tags (Tag&Rename, TagScanner, Tag etc). You should be able to clear all the tags easily using one of those programs.

Or rather than removing the tags, use your wonderfully named MP3s to create proper tags :) If all your filenames follow a pattern (such as Artist - Album - Track Number - Track Name as mine do) then putting the right tags in is easy.
