I just did a "set tags form list" operation using relative path/file names.  There were entries for files in about a dozen sub-directories, among several hundred in the focus directory.  After the operation apparently finished (the "go ahead do it" window closed) the hourglass remained displayed.  I looked in the task manager and MT/S was running full out, and increasing it's memory load.  The memory usage was approaching 500 Mb when I killed the process.

Is this expected behavior?  If so, how long should I have waited before what ever M/TS was doing finished?

PS -- as my eyes get older I am finding the font size and colors in the forum more and more difficult to read.  I now have to use a magnifying glass to read much of it.  Is the any way to improve the awful format now in use?????  Please????  Pretty please with sugar on it????

Very strange. No, this is not expected, and I've never heard about it before.

About the style, sorry about that. If you are using Firefox or Chrome, there is a plugin for those browsers called "Stylish", which could be used to change the style of any website you visit. Maybe worth a try?

I'm not sure that I could reproduce the problem.  I have a bunch of tagged .FLAC files that I wanted to convert to .mp3 without losing the tags.  A program I had been using updated itself and started crashing, so I found another, but it would only creat CBR files and I wanted VBR.  So I did the conversion, then used mp3/tag S. to make a "tag from list" file.  Went back and used a third program to create the VBR files (but losing the tags in the process) and, finally did a "tag from list".  That is when things got weird.

I still have the FLAC files, so I could try again, if you can advise me how to instrument the test.  As it was I had to power down, nothing, including task-manager, would kill the runaway process!

I'll log for the add-on and see how it works.  Thanks for that.

Hi calberga, any luck on this so far? Any news about looping yet?
