PROBLEM:
I'm getting an error message when I attempt to save tag information into APE files
or
I'm a newbie doesn't know what he's doing!

Could someone give a look at the info below and let me know if this is a bug, or if I'm doing something wrong?  Thanks!!

========
STEPS:
1. Media Library
2. Right click on a song
3. Select 'Properties'
4. Enter some info, e.g., Artist name = 'Test'
5. In the pulldown list in lower right, select either "Update changed files" or "Update all files"
6. Click 'Save'

RESULT:
An error message pops up to the screen -
------------
"Media Jukebox failed to update the tag information for the following files: "

my filepath\filename

"(this happens when files are in use, read-only, or when tagging has been disabled in MJ's options"
------------

EXPECTED RESULT:
Changed tag info to be saved in the APE file

INFORMATION:
MJ Version - 8.0.234  (beta)

Settings:
Plug-in Manager
- Input: Monkey's Audio Player v3.92b2  (most recent for MJ8.x I think)
- Encoder: 2.0.30 (most recent for MJ8.x I think)

Options
Settings > Options > General > Importing & Tagging
- "Automatically import files into Media Library" - this is checked
- "Update tags when file info changes" - this is checked
 
OS - Windows XP Professional
Filesystem - NTFS

ADDITIONAL INFO:
1. The same error does *not* occur for a MP3 file
2. The APE file was originally encoded from a wav file with the Monkey's Audio application (I believe ver3.9x).
3. The two files I tried this with, APE and MP3, are located on my local drive.
4. I have full read/write privileges for both files (they are not readonly) and & logged in on my machine with Admin privileges.
5. Neither of the files were in use, no other programs are running.

Here's another one, probably related to my previous problem ...

PROBLEM:
After importing an APE file that has tags, the resulting song does not have the tag info.

MORE INFO:
1. "Ignore tag info" is *not* checked in the Import Media Files dialog box.
2. MJ 8.0234 (beta) - see my previous post for my other info.4. Also, I don't think it should make any difference, but both problems occur when using either the default library or a user-created library (that points to its own folder).
3. I did not see this problem when importing a mp3 file that had tag info
4. Importing the same APE file into MJ 7.2 on another machine did not seem to have this problem.

This looks like perhaps its a beta bug, or my "newbiness" is strong today! Please post any ideas if its not a bug or if others don't see this problem.  Thanks!
