2019 Macbook Pro Touch Bar running MacOSX 12.6. Monterey

Batch of songs copied from external to hard drive within laptop. I dragged the files from the laptop folder into MP3Tag, chose case conversion. Each file individually came up with this error message "Can’t access file via secure bookmark".

I could not move forward. I read other posts about this, there didn't seem to be any solution. My free trail just expired. I am going to purchase but I'm hesitant now because of this error.

> Hi Florian, Thanks for the greatly useful app. It's a perfect app to organize tag for my music library. I have an issue with the app when using it on my second Macbook, though. When trying to edit any metadata, it's said that I can't access the file on my external hard drive. I already gave Mp3Tag full disk access on Security & Privacy. When searching here, I found someone had the same issue and solved with "defaults delete app.mp3tag.Mp3tag SecurityScopedBookmarks" in Terminal app. I tried…

or use "secure bookmark" in the forum search.
