WMA, Mp3, protected?

[pcexpress-guy]

Hey I tried to change MP3, info and I can NOT change it. I see on the bottom of my IE that it says the files are protected.

Is there a way I can get around this so I can change the Tag's within the Mp3s?

Thanks!

in there properties,make sure that there not checked as "read only".
that might do it

[pcexpress-guy]

That's the problem!

Thanks!

Hello,

Musicmatch, I believe Itunes can, windows media player????

Try the big guys. Also winamp may have this feature.

well windows media player can, but it runs as part of the player, I like it to be a seperate utility and not part of the adv. tag editor thing.

but thanks!

I *think* CDEX might be able to do it also.

MP3's are not protected. any tag editor can changed them as well as Winamp.

I don't quite understand what you mean by the bottom of IE says they are protected. could you elaborate a little?

i think he was wanting to change the summary information,but couldnt as tehy were marked as "read only" which would stop him from changing ,say the title name,or extra info.
ive tried to change the info on a few mp3s too,and they digital rights management activated,and wouldnt let me play or edit them,.-they lasted about 40 seconds on my pc after that.

Yes, that is what I mean... it had to do with read only file settings. I changed it, and now the status message does not show up. I tried to duplicate it by reinstating the 'read only' but for some reason i can not. Not sure why it does come back, but the underlining problem is fixed. (being able to change tagID info.)

thanks!

Kurt S,

I left you a pm but you never bothered to read it.

[pcexpress-guy]

Opps, I didn't get a popup for the pm, must check hold on... sorry

[pcexpress-guy]

I do NOT see any PM! It says "no messages" where or how do I see PM's?

Send me email... or I will check back again.

Sorry and do let me know about PM, I don't seem to have any or I don't know how to access.

Thanks!!!

[bazooka]

Sorry pcexpress-guy,

I was talking to Kurt S.

[pcexpress-guy]

That's good, because I thought my messages were not working...

[Kurt S]

Hi Bazooka, I wasn't ignoring the PM, I didn't know I had one. I posted back.

Yes, this is a great idea, Jimmalenko...!


All of us should take the time & read each word of every post!

Or Jim... and I will have to get tough...

Let us all TRY to do better next time.
