Hello.
I'm on Windows and I'm using MB V. 3.5.8447.
I want to copy files, selected by a filter from the library, to a folder. The action fails for a lot of files, but all of the not copied files are valid, visible, readable and can be played by MB without any problems.
I had a look at the error log, giving me a 'can't find file'-error-statements for every not copied file:
Examples from the error-log:

My first idea was 'there are strange characters in the filename', WINDOWS does not support or the filename might be too long. But that is not the case.
I opened the program MP3Tag, that can copy files to folders, too, selected the same files - and all files were copied without any error.
This issue is reproducable with many files in my library.
Other devices (phone, car-player) that play these files have no problem at all. Even an old Ipod Classic accepts the files.
If you need some sample files to check the error, please send me an email. I will upload them to my cloud and will send you the download-link.
Have a nice day
Peace
