I forgot to mention that the instructions assume default 'Options' settings from the GUI. There are other settings added to settings.txt only when they are 'changed from default'. If you made changes, some of these may already be added to the area where you need to add the setting to disable writing the CTDB tags.
The below example shows settings added when I make changes to
- Submit to freedb EMail address
- Freedb site address
- Metadata search
- Album art size
- Album art search
- Detailed log

If you already have any settings present, add the comma after the last one
(the comma is important)
then add the line
= "WriteCTDBTagsOnEncode": false
