Anyone know how to get /WAIT on the START command to work when Mp3tag is already running?

My batch file uses

```
 START "" /WAIT "%~dp0tools\Mp3tag\Mp3tag.exe" /fp:"temp\"

```

to run Mp3tag and wait for completion before for processing commands, but it fails to wait if Mp3Tag is already running.

Thanks.
