Hi!

Lately, my computer sometimes becomes unresponsive. I noticed this is because all the memory is filled out. Checking the memory used by the processes didn't show the cause. So, I believed is of some flash on some page.

But today, when this happened again, after closing mp3tag the memory was freed. In the next days I will edit my tags having the task manager window opened. Does anyone else had a memory leak?

I only edit mp3's and I'm saving them as v2.4 utf-8.

Alexandru

Yes, but you do not tell how many of them at the same time.  
As Mp3tag is (still) a 32-bit application it cannot access more than the odd 3 GB of memory. If that many records are loaded that all the pointer addresses are used up then you've had it.
