I recently mentioned issues that I have been having for a while now when
I attempt to use "Process Fields | Convert:" to remove strings from tag
fields.  I just purchased an album off of AmazonMP3 and attempted to
remove the  (Single Version) and  (Album Version) strings from the Title
field.  Please read this bug report to read the rest of the story:

The convert functionality in EasyTAG uses Perl-compatible regular expression syntax, and metacharacters such as parentheses must be escaped if they are to be matched literally. For example, you could match " (Album Version)" with " \(Album Version\)".

It might make sense to have a literal string replace feature instead of or as well as the regular expression feature, but either way the need to escape the metacharacters should be documented. I have added a note to the Etherpad so that I do not forget.
