I was trying to write properties to some music files. I have done it before to the same file on vista, but forgot to save so im redoing it. When I attempt to save what I have just entered I get this:

"An unexpected error is keeping you from applying properties to the file. if you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this problem.

Error 0x8007000D: the data is invalid.

Any help would be great.

BTW I can write info to most file but some give me this error. They were all off the same backup hard drive, transfered at the same time and I have writen properties to these files before.

Windows 7 doesnt support ID3 v2.4 (and hence neither does WMP)

Try using ID3-TagIt, or similar to convert the tags to v2.3 (or wait for an update...)

Much thanks to Dev Shed Forums and Requanix for all their help.

I am Having the same error message. The script installed for me, however I still can't change and of the tag info on some my mp3s. It is just in one folder and some of the files are fine but the ones that had a long album names got truncated. I used the tag editor suggested and changed the files there and sved them. Looked back under explorer and the info was missing all I have is the title. Mp3s still play. Some of the files can be changed, the ones that already show the tag info.

I noticed when I go to properties/security of one of the corrupt file entry it says full control for me/user, System and Adminstrators. Under the name WMPNetworkSvc it shows only read. Could that be my problem? If so how do I change it.

Hi...I having the same problem. I can enter the tags and all I have is the title of the mp3 showing. Something makes me think it has to do with the tag editor I used and maybe not though. I'm using Win7 Home premium. It seems like there is something in the registry blocking modification. I hate to lose all the mp3s that want let me edit.

Link Removed due to 404 Error

I have checked full control of the files under my user name.

Hi all,

I am having same issue with Win7 64bit to edit MP3 tags. Maybe there is something off topic, but I also tried to use foobar2000 to edit tag. The funny thing is that for some of the MP3 files if I keep ID3V1 and remove ID3V2, then music information is not displayed in Windows Explorer; while for some other MP3 files I did the same thing and I can see music information in Windows Explorer.

Does it mean the MP3 file has different versions or it is a bug from Win7 64bit?

Thanks
Hardy
