Need help with Winamp.

[chirs3]

So I just downloaded the Makai Kingdom soundtrack, and when I opened all the songs to my Winamp playlist, the artist varies from song to song. I'd like to have them all under one artist name so I can group them together, and I know how to do that, but this time Winamp's not letting me.

 

I right click on the song (in Winamp), click "View File Info", then try to change the artist's name. It gives me this message:

 

Cannot insert ID3v2 tag! Stop playback to unlock file and try again!

 

Normally when I get this message, I just have to stop whatever music is playing or close and re-open Winamp, and then I can rename the files just fine. For these, though, no amount of stopping, closing, reopening, or anything will get this damn error message to go away.

 

Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?

Couldn't you just rename it OUTSIDE of Winamp?

I can rename the file itself outside of Winamp, but not the tag (which is what appears on my Winamp playlist). As far as I know, the only way to change the title/artist of a song in Winamp is through Winamp.
