Oh, cool!

My version didn't have a tick box, but a text box with "Series, Tabs" and I've deleted Series. If that works, then I won't worry about the rest so much.

Okay, that I'll have to experiment with later.

I had it marked to update copies, deleted Series, reconverted, deleted, reloaded and the series info is still there.

I don't mind them on the screen, as long as I can keep the Sony from throwing them into Collections. So I can live with seeing them there if I have to.

Thanks!!
