I have a problem with "reading main datafile".  I am not running any unmounted network drive.

When MP3 TagStudio starts, I get this:

"Warning:  Error reading main datafile, using defaults!"

When closing, I get this:

"Warning:  Error writing current settings to main datafile.  Settings will not be saved."

I deleted the mp3ts.dat file as you instructed, but I still get the same errors.  It's aggraviting to have to reset everything each time I use the program.

It did not originally do this, so I assumed some corrupted file some place.  Uninstalled the program, then reinstalled.  Didn't help.  Still get the same errors.

Thanks for any help,
George W. Durman
(BTW, I love the program.  It has saved me countless hours.)

It sounds quite strange that it happens every time, even if you have deleted the file. :confused:

The following are the two most common reasons for this error message:

1.
Your system is low on "user resources" (i.e. you are using Windows 9x/ME and have several resource-hungry programs open at the same time). Which operating system are you using?

2.
The permissions for the Mp3/TS install directory are set in a way that you cannot write to the file.


I have never heard of anyone not being able to remedy the situation by making sure both of the above points are ok though. :ashamed:
