If no iTunesMetadata.plist is present saving the book to disk from calibre or using the "connect to iTunes" should give you the same basic fields for title/author/cover and author_sort
Hey, that seems to be the culprit. There *is* an iTunesMetadata.plist file in this specific epub.

So...what's the best way to get rid of these .plist files for an entire library? I unzipped this specific epub to check, using the mac command line, but that's not tractable for hundreds of files. Is there a calibre setting to override the iTunesMetadata file?

Thanks,
Jon
