HI,
When I drag files from Mp3tag to Audacity, to analyze the spectrum of 2 songs, I no longer see them in mp3tag unless I refresh.
Thanks
(I'm Using Mp3tag 3.34)
I'm referring to a similar ticket where the same issue occurred with Virtual DJ.
Thanks in advance

(it is mainly an Audicity problem)

I followed Florian's suggestion anyway, and using the drag with the CTRL key the songs do not disappear from mp3tag 😉

Good, that you found a solution.
Just a footnote:
In a way it makes sense for a program that has as its main function to modify the contents of loaded files to tell other programs to let these files go and load them again, once the modifications are saved.
Access of more than one program to the same file may lead to undesirable side effects.
