hi,

i have a large collection in a folder, it take a good while for mp3tag to open it. i like to know if there is a way to speed up this process. we are talking like over 14000 files and growing.

Thank You

Enable the library (File-\>Options-\>Library) and if you use Windows Defender as an antivirus program, define an exception for mp3tag.exe.

Thank You that corrected it. another question in the tag panel is there a way to resize the boxes. the year box is stretched out and i like it the same size as the track box.  
Thank You

You should open a new thread for a new question, but yes, there is. Fields in the [Tag Panel](https://docs.mp3tag.de/customization/tag-panel) can be sized Large, Medium, Small, Smaller and Multiline.
