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.
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.
