I have thousands of files in one folder. About 10 of them will not allow me to make changes to the
album art. I have looked at individual attributes and they are the same as all my other files. What
could be the problem?
Corrupt files? Use mp3val, foobar2000 and/or mp3diags to check and / or correct.
Nosy Windows Explorer? Close it.
Insufficient access rights? modify them.
NO corrupt files! No insufficient access rights problem! No permissions issue!
I have FOUND the problem. The problem is with MP3Tag. Yes! Another program did the job without
any issue. MP3Tag cannot handle 58000 files. That is the problem. When I loaded only 9000 files,
MP3Tag also performed the task without the error I reported above. IT IS A BUG within MP3TAG!
You did not tell us that you loaded about 58.000 files.
MP3Tag is a 32 Bit program. So it can only use about 3,5 GB RAM in Windows.
The amount of files that can be loaded and handled depends on the size of metadata that is inside the tags. I personally am on the safe side when I only load about 45.000 files.
So this is no bug but a limitation of the Windows-system.
