Cannot save single file in album "Invalid Frame ID"

MusicBrainz Picard

Receiving the following error when saving two tracks. I verified that they are not read-only and even copied the mp3’s and tried to save the copies and it didn’t work either. Does anyone have any ideas?

Something seems to be wrong with the ID3 tags already present. Maybe try enabling the “clear existing tags” option and save those two files again.

@outsidecontext, I believe that it’s never too late to hear a thank you, so thank you for this simple solution. It still works in 2022!
