thanks @ohrenkino I know all the threads. they dont help me at all.
mp3tag is now busy for over 2 hours tagging away. 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 or video processing where the apps use so many processing cycles it barely makes sense to start another instance (although I’m at least given the choice).
also, I really didnt come here to start the whole workaround, tricks thing. if this limitation cant or wont be changed, I’ll find other ways within my workflow.
hence, my original question to other users who do massive amounts of parallel processing.
what do you use to run things parallel? run another mp3tag instance in a VM or docker environment?
use another tool altogether for when mp3tag is locked up and busy? just wait it out and do other things on the side?
