Windows 10: Can't Edit .mp3 Metadata

I have many .mp3 files that I imported from another computer to mine. I can't edit 3 files' metadata.The good ol' Properties window will not let me edit.The Media Player app also does not work.I have 3rd party software MP3Tag, but that won't touch them, either.As far as I can tell, I have the appropriate security permissions for the files personal email is blacked out.I can edit the rest of the imports just fine.What's going on? How can I edit these 3 particular files' metadata?

MP3 Metadata Problem...Can't Edit Without Deleting Other Values

Here are some ideas about programs I used to sort out the MP3 metadata to ensure my car displays track details correctly.

1. Use the free program Tagscanner TagScanner - The Ultimate Tag Editor to check and edit the MP3 file metadata for artist, album art etc. The same editing can be done in iTunes but Tagscanner is much easier and faster. Check both the artist and album artist fields are completed, the song name & album name are correct, track number & disc number are set and that embedded album art is present for every track. Note multiple tracks can be selected and edited simultaneously.
2. Use free program MP3Test Willkommen auf Shivan's Homepage to quickly check and test for MP3 file errors. Correct any simple errors using Tagscanner.
3. Use the free program MP3Diags MP3 Diags to perform a detailed check of MP3 files and correct errors. This program has a learning curve and some experience to use.

I agree - routinely using a dedicated tag editor is more straightforward.

However, you can restore some features to Windows - Properties, Details and the Details pane in File explorer using free File Metadata
File Metadata - Home

Losing all metadata when editing a single property on an MP3 file

I agree with the Eagle. If you want to mass edit metadata for MP3 files, then it is best to have it all laid out in front of you to edit... so you don't have to open the Properties window for each file. Even though this is a 3rd party program, it's a very useful and productive program to use if you do mass metadata editing.
