Been a while since I used mp3tag but today I am trying to either Change or Import directory to rename the Albums and I am getting the following: "Folder name not valid".

Can anyone help to answer why. See attachment

Thanks

I think I may have found the reason.

I was working on an external device and this might have been write protected.

Bottom line is, I succeeded in what I wanted to do.

Thanks
