yeah yeah I read that @Florian said no since like back when fire was discovered. point being is, I could really use that. while mp3tag is working on writing tags to 123'400 files, I could easily be productive and work on a whole other set of files. how do you guys do it then? use a VM? docker? wai…

Just an (untested) idea: Would it work with a portable version of Mp3tag?

it did not work for me. installed it locally in a folder, wouldnt run because another instance was already running. unless I was doing something wrong with the portable install...

I would find this ability very handy to have. For lots of reasons. One example: I'm using Mp3tag on a folder, and I need to see how I've tagged a similar folder of files. But opening that new folder kills the old folder. I would love to be able to have both open at once. Is it a deal-breaker? No. …

I have to do something completely different because mp3tag is locked up and I really dont want to use another app for these kind of operations. it’s not like with my 3d rendering o…

[image] hypersucker: I know all the threads. they dont help me at all. That's strange. I know that the threads discuss a number of pitfalls, drawbacks and right-out dangers that come along with the use of a further instance. I would have assumed that such reasoning could have explained why t…

[image] hypersucker: just wait it out and do other things on the side? The most helpful thing is a very fast SSD where you modify your tracks. If you make your changes on a HDD (or even more worse: On a external USB-HDD) than you will be busy for all times. I only modify my tracks on a fast…

that’s not strange at all.
