db error message: "Unable to write ID tags for..."

[musicmafia]

all of a sudden cant seem to manually edit? help>?

[musicmafia]

this is after ripping...trying to edit flac files on my drive

[Spoon]

Either the files are read only, or some other program has them open.

[musicmafia]

closed everything...rebooted....double checked, files are not checked as read only........tried my converted wma files on other drive and they still change fine but still cant change any id tags from my flac files drive

[Spoon]

Try to move a flac file to your music folder (on c drive), can you edit the tags?

yes, it works there...

[Spoon]

Then it is a permissions issue on your other drive, your user account will not have security rights to write to the files.

any suggestions? its the same drive ive always used for my library and ive always been able to edit tags and cant recall any recent changes...I am able to change file names and folders and copy/paste files on the drive just all of a sudden cant edit tags....

[Spoon]

What security software do you have? something might be limiting dBpoweramp from writing to files.

[musicmafia]

I use eset and now that you mention it they recently upgraded me to a newer version....

[musicmafia]

it always worked fine with earlier versions of eset but sure enough I disabled protection and was able to edit the tags....eset says my only option is to exclude dbp from protection....

or I guess I have to exclude the external drive and music folders from protection? seems odd I can move a flac file to the C drive, which uses the same security, and it works fine...

arrrrrgh! even after excluding db and the entire M drive from eset i am again unable to edit the files. adjusted permissions so that everything was permitted. 2tb M drive took an hour to update permissions but still cant edit the tags...this is probably not a db issue and something in my system but posting here in hopes someone may have experienced this and can offer suggestions. thanx, MCapture3.JPG

PS the issue is only affecting the FLAC files.......most of the files on the 2tb drive are FLAC but i found a few mp3 files on the drive and they edit fine...i'm confused.

[musicmafia]

bumping in case anyone has any ideas....ive tried all I can think of and I'm at a loss....
