    Cannot Rename File (File Name Changes Back)


    I am sorting my music library by the artist and renaming the files one by one.
    After a while, I notice some small shift while working; some of the renamed files would 'disappear' and return to the top.

    So it was like:
    > 01 - title here
    > 02 - title here
    > singer - title

    [RENAMING]

    > 01 - title here
    > singer - title
    > singer - title

    *blink*

    > 01 - title here
    > 02 - title here
    > singer - title

    =====

    Is there any way to stop this before I pull all my hair out? It's just so frustrating!

    Some things to take note:
    > I was not listening to any of the songs nor opening WMP
    > well I listened to the renamed file tho
    > after listening, the other file got affected, not the file I was listening to.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

    Renaming will not happen if a song file is read-only.
