MPD will read APE tags in preference to ID3.  You probably don't care... until
it suddenly uses some random metadata you had no idea about.

The easiest way to remove APE tags, at least in OpenSuse 13.1, is to use the
apetag program (which I got from Yast, so it's in a popular repo).

First, to display the tags:

  find . -name "*.mp3" -exec apetag -i \{} \;

Then, to remove them:

  find . -name "*.mp3" -exec apetag -i \{} -m overwrite \;

For help on apetag:

  apetag -h
