Last week I added some files from a site I've been downloading tracks off for years(DJcity.com) and two of the tracks have a green padlock icon next to them. So far it has not affected the track and I am able to play them. I added some more files this week and again 2 of the tracks I added have the green padlock icon next to them. What does it mean and should I be concerned? Any ideas why this icon has recently been appearing? I have never seen it before last week.

Hey AS IS,

That just means the file has been locked from making changes to it's tags within SSL. Are you still able to see/place cue points on those tracks?

Cheers,
Micah

Yes. I can still see and add cue points. Why would certain files be locked? Never seen it before and only certain files have it even though I downloaded many other files from the same place. Thanks for your response.

Hey AS IS,

Hit Ctrl + double click on that green padlock, and it should disappear.

Let me know if that works.

You're a genius Micah G. Thank you. That worked.
