So you ran a fair bunch of programs at the same time?! Have you taken care that none of these programs tried to access the files that you modified with MP3tag which might have lead to a deadlock?

Also, I would check the following: if Windows does not end gracefully, then this may find its root cause in faulty hardware - so, are your connected drives ok? A check with crystaldiskinfo for hovering sectors would be nice plus a check of the filesystem integrity with chkdsk.

Symptoms of erroneous files are often missing or wrong bitrate or length audible blips or skips tags seem to be sticky and cannot be removed There are some really good tools to check the files for errors, namely MP3 Diags — identifies many different issues in MP3 files Website: [http://mp3diags.sourceforge.net](http://mp3diags.sourceforge.net) Download: [MP3 Diags - Getting MP3 Diags](http://mp3diags.sourceforge.net/010_getting_the_program.html#binWindows) If the font size in MP3 Diags is …

Does this happen always with the same file or does it happen randomly? Or: is it reproduceable at all or was it just a single incident?
