Today I was organizing my tags for a download from Live Archive, and had straightened our all the major tags to my preference and was working on installing an image for embedding via the extended tags menu. I entered the image 'folder.jpg' there and mp3tag commenced to save the tags with the image but stalled on title number 8 and did not continue. I had to break out using (Win10) Task Manager -\> end task. There does not seem to be any damage to the already created tags, but 'extended tags' is no longer available. The songs play fine. This is using general release 2.36. Is there a diagnostic tag checking script to examine such issues?
Thank you, Skip

Thank You. Error(lockup) was in Win10 not mp3tag, just happened while an mp3tag process was running. Full reboot cleared all issues.
