Hi all,
I've got a Synology DS209 4tb NAS on the same network as my Windows 7 Ultimate PC and am having problems editing some files. Well, all the files, really. I use the NAS as my network share/media server for all my media files that include several hundred 5.1 DTS .WAV low-compression audio files. And lots of other stuff as well that's got the same problem, but this is the main issue. In the root of the NAS there's a shared folder called Music, and inside that folder are individual folders with the album name, and these folders contain the song files. Now for some reason, all these folders are read-only (when I click on Properties, the read-only box is blued out) and if I click it to disable the read-only and click Apply and exit the Properties dialogue box, nothing changes. If I click on Properties again, the read-only box is blued out again. What I am trying to do is edit the id3 tags of the music files (for example, to label the song name, album name, and artist and so on). I cannot make the change through Windows Explorer. I have used several id3 tag-editing programs, none of which work. In these programs, I will select the appropriate file and enter the relevant artist/album/etc. information and click Save or Apply or whatever depending on the program, but nothing sticks, it just reverts to how it originally was.
I have tried changing the owner, but that doesn't work. I have tried changing permissions, but that makes no difference. The permission changes don't stick, just like all of the other changes I've attempted.
What's really irking me is that even if I move the folder or individual files off the NAS and onto my C: drive, my secondary D: drive, or my external USB hard drive, the same problem exists. These folders and files are in a perpetual state of read-only (remember, the box is blued out, not ticked). I have noticed that the same issue is persistent throughout the rest of the NAS (my Movie shared folder with all my films, my Data and Download folders and the folders inside them) all except for the few files I have that already had id3 tags, which are literally 2 or 3 out of several thousand and with those files, I can edit the tags properly.
At this point I have no idea what could be causing the problem or what the solution might be.:4-dontkno
If anybody has any ideas or could shed some light or drop some knowledge on me, I would be much obliged and eternally grateful. Please, and thank you for reading through this long post.
