Hi,

first thank you for maintaining MP3Tag, because it's the best freeware to do this 🙂

I have a bug since few years, so I contact you.

I work with a NAS (Synology), so I treat my files over a sharing directory \\mynas\sharing\directory\*.mp3

The writing of files failed randomly. How to reproduice :

1- Open a smb/cifs sharing \\mynas\sharing\directory\ (you can map as network connector on Z: if you want, the issue will be the same)  
2- Select \*.mp3 files, right clic \> open with \> MP3Tag  
3- Select all mp3 files with ctrl+a  
4- Right click on cover \> delete  
5- Save with CTRL-S : BUG ! 😳

If I save again the issue appear randomly on other files (3/10 failed for example)

If I copy all mp3 files on my local HDD, no issue.  
Do you know why ?

Thank you !

This looks like the bug report in  
[/t/13942/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/13942/1)  
from yesterday (it even has several rather similar words in it).

Please follow the advice given there first  
(go to [mp3tag hangs in Windows 7 64bit](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/10826/9)  
then please report back, if it helped.

Issue is the same when I open the files from MP3Tag  
But it works if I close the explorer window of my files and next write with MP3Tag 🙂

Thank you for the feedback.  
So it looks like the explorer is the culprit - and it is no MP3tag fault or bug ...  
(or it is if MP3tag could lock the file during the whole editing process)
