i Think i found an bug.
i have an “Hörbuch” Folder with multiple other folders inside.
if i Drag this “Hörbuch” folder in mp3tag subfolders named
“John Sinclair - 1-40.Mp3” or “Der.Schwarm.-.Hörbuch.MP3” will become an own entry (without any Tag) in mp3tag.
Editing these Entrys of course ends with an error writing these files (as you cannot add Tags to Folders)
Any Chance to sort out Folders named “.mp3” while adding files/folders to mp3tag
Sorry for my bad english.
Hannes
German:
Ordner, die _zufällig_ die Endung “.mp3” haben werden beim reinziehen in das mp3tag fenster fälschlich als datei hinzugefügt.

Good catch! It still shows the individual files from the Audiobook.mp3 folders, but also add an entry for the Audiobook.mp3 folder to the file list.
Thanks for reporting!

yeah, no crucial error (but a little bit ugly) 😉
hope it’s easy to fix.
For me there were only three folders.
Renaming them from .mp3 to (mp3) fixed this easily.

I've fixed this with [Mp3tag for Mac v1.11](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/mp3tag-for-mac-1-11-released/70784). Thanks again for pointing!
