I have 57k songs in my library. I have been able to load that in the past but now over the past 2 days Mp3tag gets to about 52k then crashes. Why does the software hold all in memory instead of paging and writing to the UI in chunks? I still have quite a bit of work to do on the lib and this is causing me pain.

Has anyone found a workaround?

I am running windows 10 with 8gb of RAM.
