Maybe I'm missing something, but tag editors I don't need - tag copying
across downsampled files I do need.  I don't see Easytag offering that
option  - or do I need to RTFM a bit more?  

Sorry, I now realise that sounds a bit terse, but I don't mean it to
be.  It's jsut that I've had a fruitless search on this issue so far,
but thanks for offering advice nevertheless :^). 

My issue pales into non-existence compared to Brad's recent
self-destruct episode.  I feel for you.

Regards, Gavin.
