Remove tags matching a string

[clustor]

What's the recommended way to iterate through the tags present in an mp3 and remove all the tags if there is an exact match to a string?

Currently I am reviewing text frames, URL tags and comments on a case by case basis. This is ok but not the cleanest solution for a generic approach.

strings_to_match = ["xxxx", "yyyy"]
for fid in list(audiofile.tag.frame_set):
    if fid.startswith(b"T") or fid.startswith(b"TX"):
        if audiofile.tag.getTextFrame(fid) in strings_to_match:
            del audiofile.tag.frame_set[fid]

#Remove all URL frames
for fid in id3.frames.URL_FIDS:
    if(audiofile.tag.frame_set[fid]):
        del audiofile.tag.frame_set[fid]

#Remove COMMENT frame
if(audiofile.tag.frame_set[COMMENT_FID]):
    del audiofile.tag.frame_set[COMMENT_FID]

On a related note, is there a way to remove all tags excluding certain ones programmatically?

strings_to_match = ["xxxx", "yyyy"]
for fid in list(audiofile.tag.frame_set):
    if fid.startswith(b"T") or fid.startswith(b"TX"):
        if audiofile.tag.getTextFrame(fid) in strings_to_match:
            del audiofile.tag.frame_set[fid]

This works for b"T", but not b"TX". The latter are user text frames and there may multiple TXXX frames, but the descriptions must be unique. So, this room removes all TXXX .
