I have just changed over to google chrome as my browser. Now, when I am accessing my songs, and I right click to play, I get a "operating system not granting access" message. Why is this? Is the fix to just use Internet Explorer? Or, is the problem with my Chrome settings? Here is a screenshot of the error message- ![image](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/c/cd708dbe6750aaeec8baf6be1f1f93c84cfe32ab.png) ---

If the OS denies access then check the ownership of the files - being admin is usually not enough. MP3tag uses the default player to play a file. You can set a special program in File\>Options\>Tools ---

I'm not sure how to check my files to see that I am admin or not? All I know is that your program worked fine for me when I was using Internet Explorer. I also went into mp3tag under tools/options/tools and I get this box- see below- how can I get my music to play??!! ![image](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b70b47db9a34d1230b2ccefbd38db0b038b98118.png) ---

You can add a column in the explorer to see who the owner of the files and folders is. What I find more peculiar: are really playing your files with a network browser? I would expect that to be done with a dedicated player ... it could be that the chrome browser expects local file paths in the shape of `file://` which the internet explorer may have emulated ... So you would have to define a tool that calls the chrome browser with the parameters, e.g. `file://%_path%/%_filename_ext%` I also found this page on security issues with chrome: [http://kb.madcapsoftware.com/Content/Misc/GEN1011Z\_-\_Loading\_local\_files\_in\_Google\_Chrome.htm](http://kb.madcapsoftware.com/Content/Misc/GEN1011Z_-_Loading_local_files_in_Google_Chrome.htm) (external page) So it seems to be a chrome problem and not so much one of local access rights and ownership. ---

Thank you ohrenkino- you touched on something I hadn't thought about. My default music player is Windows Media Player, and they had an update to version 12, that I got. Now my music plays! ---
