| 327462 | 2005-02-22 22:35:00 | :confused: Hi All I am hoping somebody here can help me with a wee problem I have. I have googled this to death and cannot find an answer to it. I am running Windows XP Pro and am trying to sort out my music collection which is extensive. I have been going through checking the file names and properties etc and editing them if I find an error or want to add or remove information. When I go into an album folder I Ctrl+A to select all my files and then right click and choose properties and then click on the 'summary' tab. 99% of the time I can edit the artist, album title, track number, year etc etc. On a very few occasions however it won't bring up all these options (and clicking between advanced and simple doesn't help) and I can't edit the properties. I can't for the life of me figure out why! Anyone that may be able to shed some light on this would be very much appreciated. Thanks. :o |

| 327464 | 2005-02-23 02:07:00 | Hi Godfather Thanks for your reply . The files are not protected (one of the first things I checked) . It doesn't make much sense!!! Still scratching my head . :confused: Thanks anyway . |

| 327465 | 2005-02-23 02:33:00 | Are there any other file types in that folder? For example: if you also selected a .ogg file when you went ctrl-a, you would not be able to edit MP3 tags as a result. Just make sure all the files you select are the same extension, and you should have no problems. <touches wood> |

| 327466 | 2005-02-23 04:44:00 | Thanks for your reply There are only mp3 files in the folder so I am not sure why this is happening. If I ever find out I will be sure to post the answer here! All the wood around me has been touched! (Somehow that doesn't quite sound right!!!) Thanks anyway. |
