HI,

I'm wondering why nobody asked that before, maybe I tried the wrong search string.  
When I start MP3 tag it takes quite a while till I can start to work with the program.  
Irt always starts with reading all the TAG Informations of my currently 11000 files. How can I avoid this?

The only way is to change your default directory to a directory that doesn't contain so many files.
