foobar unable to write RG tags on large wma files

Using ver. 0.9.5.1

I often download a weekly 2-hr radio show that's in wma format, and at 128kbps the files tend to be very large - around 110MB.  When I try to calculate ReplayGain for these files I get the following message:

Code: [Select]
Could not update tags (Sharing violation) on:
"C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\My Music\myverylargewma.wma"


I only have this issue on these large wma files, foobar has no problem writing RG tags for track-sized wma files.

Interestingly, Winamp is able to calculate and write RG tags on these large wma files, which show up fine when opened w/ foobar.

Lastly, I don't seem to recall having this problem with previous 0.9.x versions of foobar, though I can't recall at what version the sharing violation problem began.

Unlocker helps eliminating sharing violations. If unlocker can't find one then it probably really is a problem with foobar.

I often run into trouble with some wma files as well. Not just RG, but often also while editing tags. I talked to Peter about this, and he did something, but it didn't really fix the problem.

I did not spend much time on it - There's some tools to fixup wma files (some asf tool - forgot the name), but the documentation lacks somewhat.
Can't wait for a HD-AAC encoder :P

Any of you guys using foo_playcount_mod.dll?

It seems it causes it when configured as default, 50% of music player do update tags.
