Title: Does removing padding remove data or does it just remove what’s not required

If say I use metaflac (https://xiph.org/flac/documentation_tools_metaflac.html#metaflac_shorthand_add_padding)or ID3 (https://github.com/squell/id3) to remove the padding for FLAC and MP3s'.

ID3.exe command:

Code: [Select]

ID3 -2 -s 0 "file"

metaflac.exe command:

Code: [Select]

metaflac --preserve-modtime --dont-use-padding --remove --block-type=PADDING "file"

If I use the commands for both to remove padding, does it affect any existing tags (remove them) or does it just remove what's not needed with regards to padding?
