Hi there,

I just wanted to tell you, that I discovered the following problem: When I tried to create a playlist, MP3 Tag (latest Development Built) refused to store it. It was because there already was a file with the same name that was write protected.

It's not critical, but maybe you want to fix it anyway.

Best regards,

Flo

I would think that this behavior is desirable. Maybe a dialogue indicating taht it's unable to comply is nice.

What about the choice to overwrite it?

I've added this Yes/No meassage box feature to the current [Development Build](http://developer.mp3tag.de).
