Windows 7 - Winamp problem

Shamikebab · 12 Nov 2009 at 13:46

I now get an error when I try to edit the tags of files in Winamp using the edit selected items menu option. The following comes up:

"Error updating file: D:\My Documents\My Music\Various Artists|Where's Neil When You Need Him\Coraline 2.mp3"

Anyone know how I can fix this?

That's fixed it right up, thanks mrk

although it does mean whenever I run Winamp I get a confirmation box come up :/

the program shouldn't require elevated rights to write tags to files in a proper user folder like "my documents". it's no different to editing any other file type. you wouldn't go to such lengths when using word or mspaint would you?

Well what choice do I have?

Perhaps I'll just disable UAC, I'm pretty careful with stuff I install.

I'd check your D drive and check you actually have ownership of all the files.

How do I do that?

Right click the folder(s) with your music in them, go to the security tab then the advanced tab and check the owner tab.

Thanks, it says:

Current owner:
S-1-5-21-515967899-1788223648-839522115-1004

Change owner to:

Shamikebab (Taniquetil\Shamikebab)

is that what it should be?

Ah didn't know you had to change that, thanks
