[CHANGES MADE] Tags Issue (file locking issue)
« on: June 27, 2026, 02:21:51 PM »
Hi,
I am using build 1.99.50.24496 and I am having an issue where when I'm playing music in WACUP and open it in another programme, such as mp3tag or Pioneer Recordbox, the tags for the files do not show in the other programme. This didn't occur in previous versions. Is this a known issue?

What file type(s) are affected? Though there's also this thread related to MP3 files but I've not yet looked into it as I only resumed working on wacup a day ago after a 5 week hiatus due to irl issues. It would also depend on the build type (x86 vs x64) & what input plug-ins are being used to handled the formats (if it's MP3 it could be down to 2) as I'd attempted to not have the x86 build use the re-used 5.666 in_mp3 plug-in for anything other than metadata writing (which is the only reason I'm still allowing it to be installed & loaded in wacup installs at this time).

Hi Dro,
Yes, it's mp3 files that are affected and its the x86 version. I did try disabling in_mp3 plug-in as suggested in that thread but it didn't make a difference.

Per the other thread I've now determined it's the taglib1 -> taglib2 change that's causing it & the fix appears to work so the next preview build should behave ok again (as it's down to the taglib handling it'll affect anything I'm using it for getting metadata from so isn't limited to mp3 but that'll likely be the most obvious example to replicate the issue).

The v1.99.51.24568 build that went up last night should have the fixes needed for this problem.
