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: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736610
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.
