Graham and Patrick,


iTunes does that on commit. If I try to, let's say, add/change/delete the cover image for several tracks, I'm reminded that I'm doing it for multiple items and have a chance to cancel.

Also, when you select multiple items and "get info", the fields with different data (track name, for example) are shown blank.

I like the feature. More than once, I almost ruined my ID3 tags and was saved by this "nag".


Best regards,
Flavio
