Remove Tags is a great tool for managing tags with multiple files.
I think it could be more useful with "Remove specific tags" option if it shows filenames and tag values on tooltip when the user hovers the mouse over a specific tag. It helps the user (1) to assure what those tags are about that he's about to remove and (2) to locate files that contain that specific tag.
If the list is too long when lots of files are selected, the tooltip can, I guess, have a scroll bar to help browsing.

A tooltip sounds messy, but it would definitely be great to have a way to show which files do or don't contain a particular tag.  I've thought that the Remove Tags dialog might be more manageable if the check list of tags was laid out so you could see all of them, instead of the in the box.  Then it could be set up so clicking on a tag caused files with that tag to be filtered in the main window.  Maybe the new Search node. :)

I think this goes hand-in-hand with this discussion: http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=10891.msg66233#new

It was a tangent to that topic, which was really about separating the function from convert format & replace files.  Seems to fit better here.
