Sorry Steve. It is "Advanced". I was going back and forth from iTunes to
my mail program and the used menu name from Eudora instead of iTunes.

When you convert CDs in iTunes it will automatically use the most recent
tag version.

Not worth worrying, but if you're curious, here's what the wiki has to say:
