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!
