Dropbox Community ModeratorI use MP3tag and have tested it with an MP3 file in the Dropbox folder, and it allowed the file to be edited with no issue.
Do you have any other music app open at the same time while editing the tags on the files?
Not as far as I can tell. My only music app is VLC, and that's not showing up in the task manager.
I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling mp3tag, with no luck. I made sure to attempt an album art save before I reloaded my regular configuration, in case my configuration somehow messed something up, and I couldn't save. Reloaded config, still couldn't save. So it's not that install of mp3tag.

Are you able to edit the tags using VLC itself, as that feature is available in that software?
Does it occur for any MP3 file in the Dropbox folder, or just those located in certain folders?
Ooooh, that's interesting....
I was able to add a cover image with VLC, and it did show up in mp3tag. I was able to REMOVE that image from the track, and could ctrl-z to get it back on, but could not paste and save to get it to save.
Huh. Now I'm unsure which is the source of the issue: Dropbox or mp3tag (or both in conjunction?) Seeing as I was able to save a cover only when the file wasn't in Dropbox, that would imply Dropbox, but since a different player can add a cover...I don't know. I suppose I'll go ask in the mp3tag forums, too!
