Under Windows Vista I`m getting the error "File xyz.mp3 cannot be opened for writing." when I edit the tags of an mp3 file on my music network share. 
Under XP SP2 it works fine. The file permissions were untouched. Firewall is disabled. Does anyone have the same problem under Vista?

Hello,
I have the very same problem running on Vista. At one point I thought I had it fixed by turning off User Account Control, but I still get the same error. I sure hope they release a new version that addresses Vista. Typical Microsoft, change things and break stuff! ☹
