Error: Unable to Tag File

[douglasjames]

Just started using this program. The majority of tracks list this error message although some rip okay. I have tried a few different CD's but the same thing happened. Any advice based upon the info below, let me know if more details are needed. Thank you for any help!!

Re: Error: Unable to Tag File

You would have to rip to a different location, such as a folder created on drive C

Can you please elaborate on what the fix should be? I am ripping to a folder on drive C, and I am seeing errors similar to those in the original post:

Error ripping to FLAC, 'Track 1' to 'C:\Users\john\Music\Alan Parsons\On Air (DTS)\01 Alan Parsons - Blue Blue Sky.flac'
Unable to tag file 'C:\Users\john\Music\Alan Parsons\On Air (DTS)\01 Alan Parsons - Blue Blue Sky.flac'

Re: Error: Unable to Tag File

In my case, I think I have figured it out for myself. The my destination folder (Music) is a Windows "protected folder" so Windows was blocking the tags from being applied. I am now ripping to a different folder, and all seems to be well.

Re: Error: Unable to Tag File

Have you tried to write to a different folder? The verdict is that your folder "C:\Users\john\Music" is under control of a software, i.e. like Windows Media Player, which locks the audio files, so dBpa can't write the tags.
