What does this red lock icon indicate?

When I click save all the tracks turn red and there is a lock icon next to them. What does this mean?

According to the Status Icons section of the Picard documentation, a red lock icon means:

This icon indicates that Picard encountered a permission error while trying to load or save the file. This is typically due to the file being marked as read-only, or you do not have sufficient permission to read the file or save the file in the specified directory.

It’s weird because other albums in the same folder worked and they are saving to the same place. It seems to be only albums from Australian artists that are failing

Okay I just right clicked > properties and unchecked read-only. Not sure why just my Australian music was read only

“Unable to save tracks by Australian artists” would have been a fun bug report :slight_smile:
