For some reason I am no longer able to edit the properties of any mp3 files on my pc
I tried the stupid questions thread
None of them are read only, I tried a system check, I've tried resetting the default player to wmp
All to no avail, the details section in properties is just unresponsive
Does anybody know what to do?
check security settings of the files, if on windows then fyi microsoft uses inheritance of permissions, i.e. might as well enable your user to edit, modify and write to the folder instead of individual files

Use mp3tag
>>62105865
tried that too
I have full control apparently but still nothing
>>62105879
I don't want to use anything like that, I should just be able to do it in explorer
>>62105925
>user has full permissions
then the files are locked, youre fucked son, try creating a copy of the file under a new folder with inherited permissions, i think the OS would set you as the owner then
>or you could just add a byte to each file which would mean it's a brand new file and thus you'd have full permission
>that should take about 5 lines of code if you batch it

>files are locked
what's caused it though?

I think you're using windows so check any recent updates, something may have gone/parsed your files (antivirus?) and locked them as a side effect. Whatever locked them perhaps didn't unlock them once it was done doing whatever it was doing.
Maybe the antivirus?
Read file >> lock it >> analyze contents >> negative/positive result >>move to next file
and then it never actually unlocked it?
