I am using MP3Tag on my Bluesound Vault2 for my Classical cd collection. Trying to add the cover I get a pop-up screen saying that the file could not be written. What could be the solution? I have MP3Tag version v2.94

Here is a thread that deals with the problem:

> I'm having trouble tagging a specific album. I usually use this program (because it's the best there is) but with this album I've tried other programs and none of them are able to tag them. It's an album of .FLAC files but when I press "Save Tag" it says "This file cannot be opened for writing". I've checked permissions and I'm the owner with Full Control - this is just boggling my mind. Has anyone seen this before? If so can you please advise?
One of the following is often the cause:
- insufficient access rights
- insufficient ownership
- simultaneous access blocks files
- corrupt files.
