Even when I download the covers only, tags come with it...
The main problem with these downloaded tags is that they are duplicated, mispelled, often do not mean anything to me - so they just flood my database ...

Anyone has a solution? Dowloading covers and metadata in bulk but not tags?
Go to Preferences/General and uncheck Download Social Metadata. You'll still get covers and comments, but mostly no tags. Be aware that bulk downloads of metadata often return the wrong results. It takes longer to do them one at a time, but you get better results.
