Vocal tags?
If they are there, they are supposed to be there. My guess would be to buy the beat, then you'll get a version without Tags....
...and i have another question, too...
I am in Bloomingdales and they have this really great shirt (it would go perfectly with these pants I have.)
How do you remove that big plastic thing that that is clamped onto it that keeps beeping when I try to walk out of the store?
There must be some way to remove that tag so I can have the shirt.

Yeah, like 95% of the time it won't work...
For it to work, the instrumental must be an EXACT mix of the non-instrumental, except with the vocal muted. Otherwise it won't really work at all.
And instrumental mixes are mixed differently than vocal-in versions, so functionally it's not a practical or effective method.
I have a "real-life" example of this that just happened yesterday...
A song of mine was licensed for use in a TV commercial...
They mixed the music really low in the on-air VO ("VO" = "voiceover") mix...
I wanted to bring the level of the music up, so you could hear it better for my reel... If i had a copy of the final VO by itself, I could simply mix the VO is exactly how I want it, but unfortunately, I don't have the final VO in this case.
So, I decided to lay a copy of the music on top of the "music+VO" mix to bring the level up (with hopefully no phasing)...
While I was doing this, I thought to myself "while I am doing this, I might as well try to phase invert the music mix, and mix it with the "music+VO" mix to see how well I could isolate the VO...
Well, surprise surprise! It didn't work very well worth a damn.
...of course I already knew it wouldn't work very well even before I attempted it, but it seemed like a fun thing to try since it only takes about 2 seconds to phase invert one of the tracks.
