On some particular mp3s, whenever I try to change the file name by the tag, I get:  
File "whatever" cannot be renamed to "whatever" The system cannot find the specified path.  
I know the file is there, in the right folder and working properly. It usually only seems to happen when I use the text to tag feature. Any help?

Maybe the file path (including the file name) is too long which Windows doesn't like.
