Making an Entire Folder Writable

[Strong Lead]

I am using Tuneup Companion to clean up my music in iTunes. It's a program that looks at the digital "fingerprint" of the mp3 and then decides the title, artist, album art...ect.

It's a pretty cool program but I am having some difficulties. It turns out that it cannont "clean" a lot of my music because it is checked off as read only in the attributes.

You may simply tell me to uncheck them and it would work...I did uncheck some of the problem files and after I got rid of the read only attribute - presto - it worked.

Well the problem is I am working with about 100 gbs of music and doing this all manually is incredibly tedious.

I am using Windows 7. I pulled up a command prompt and navigated my way to my music folder. I can't believe I actually remembered something from the old DOS days but I did this while in the music folder:

attrib -r *.*

well it says it did it but when I then go back into Windows I see that the "Read Only" is still checked. Anyone know how to batch this entire messy process? Thanks!!

Did you open the command line as administrator?
