**“24kGoldn & Lil Tecca - Prada (Dirty).mp3” couldn’t be moved because you don’t have permission to access “Samsung\_T5”.** I get this error on both internal and my external hard drive.

Can you check if the instructions from this post solve the issue for you:

> [@Bug ? Error on changing directory name](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/bug-error-on-changing-directory-name/54351/6):

> Is this still happening? If so, can you close Mp3tag and run Terminal.app with the command defaults delete app.mp3tag.Mp3tag SecurityScopedBookmarks After that, load the root directory of your external volume and retry the operation.

Thank you, It worked, See below

(I think I might have fixed it. I opened Mp3Tag and then went to 'Mp3Tag-\>Preferences' in Preferences, I changed the 'General-\>Startup Folder' to the root folder of the music files that I am working on. That seemed to do the trick. Have to see if it works with all the files in the root folder but it should I would think.)
