If you have need to clean, consider using an 'Intake' library, then use Copy to library (right click), when done.

Thanks for the advice. I don't really need an intake library since the series removal is about the only thing I need to clear out when importing and I can get around this issue by selecting all added books and edit metadata in bulk if needed. I thought there may just be a way to automatically strip out the series metadata on import.
The 2 import options you highlight won't solve my issue. If I use the filename to determine metadata, it will strip the series data, but I will loose the "comments" metadata attached to the book which I still want to keep. If I use the data from inside the book, I don't get any options of which data to keep or strip.
It's too bad you can't access the edit bulk metadata features when importing books.
Again, thanks for taking the time to reply.
