I can't change the track information on some mp3 files in vista
I'm having a heck of a time trying to organize my music ever since I got a
vista computer. I have an external hard drive with a lot of music on it, and also have been putting new music on it. When I try to change the track information (whether through explorer, winamp, or itunes) it won't let me do it on all files. For example: I have a folder containing an entire album, which I got from the same source. I want to make sure all the track info is correct before I put it into winamp. I open explorer, and see that not all the track numbers are there. So, I start putting them in. Every once in a while, I'll edit the track number (or artist, or genre, or anything at all) and vista throws an error: "An error occurred when writing the property '#' to the file 'filename'." (where property is any property and filename is the name of the file) I've checked into ownership - i changed the ownership of the external drive to the administrator group. I've looked into read only - i have access to full permissions on the files and folders. It reads as a winamp media file, and looks the same as the others that I can edit. When I look at the security on the folders, sometimes 'read only' is shaded in in blue, so I have unchecked that and applied it to everything in the folders and subfolders just to make sure everything is readable. However, when I do that, it still ends up blue the next time I look at it. Since blue means absolutely nothing to me, I don't know what this means at all, but... So, I own everything in the directory, it should be readable and writable, and I have permissions to everything. So what on EARTH is going on? It's very very very very annoying. |
