Well, I have to say, MC is a truly well-designed, practical, and efficient application, BUT this 'Media Center encountered errors while tagging' message is still extremely irritating (and my only beef with the whole package). Apologies for the fact that I have already raised this issue once before, but I have tried everything suggested, and scoured the Forum for suggestions or solutions. What makes it annoying is the fact that it does not occur every time. Some albums yes, some no. Plus, it you are doing some editing/updating to multiple files, this annoying message is copied on to the clipboard (why though?), interfering with any copy/pasting you might be doing at the time. Has anyone actually solved this?

That's a filesystem issue, usually caused by unmounted external drives, NAS shares, or files that have been moved outside of MC.
-
OK...I have mounted external drives where all my music files are stored, I don't have NAS, and none of the files have been moved outside of MC, unless deleted.
-
If files are deleted outside of MC and MC tries to apply tags to those files, you'll receive the error. You can manually trigger an Auto Import to remove externally deleted files if those directories are monitored.
Also keep an eye on your mounted external drives to make sure that they aren't dropping offline. I've had external USB enclosures that occasionally power cycle that have caused similar issues.

Not sure I understand. I am editing tags (country, genre etc.) to new albums just added to MC, and that's when I get the message for some of these albums, but not all. I don't see the connection to deleted files, which have been sent to recycling thus effectively removed from any watched folders.
-
Are these files/directories watched by Auto-Import?
-
Yes, the folders where I keep my music files are watched by MC
