The message itselt does not help that much. It would be much more interesting to know what led to the message. E.g.: how many files did you try to load? Does it happen always with the same files? Did you switch on File\>Options\>library? ---

I just loaded my current temp work directory with 44546 \*.mp3 and 412.5GB. ![image](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/2/28a2542940db76683829869990a293f977800094.png) The amount of files itself doesn't say much about the memory consumption. It depends on how large your embedded covers are and how much tags you have stored in your files. The [enabled library](https://docs.mp3tag.de/customization/options/library) in Mp3tag should help at least with the cover art pictures. ---

> [@dp19](#): > > loading 17130 files I assume that there is something wrong with the files. But let's see - if it works - fine. If it doesn't one would have to check the files for integrity. ---
