> Hi guys, 1st post smiley and sorry if this is a stupid question, i'm a idiot when it comes to PCs im just wondering if there a way to lock the tags so they can't be edited by other apps ?? like i find the copyright tag really useful and that not many apps can edit this field because I share my music quite a bit but I recently found out that winamp can edit this field is there a way to lock tthe tag so that only mp3tag can change it ??
