On albums downloaded from external sources, like FreeDB, the track lengths are locked. That would be fine if they were correct. But in some cases they're not. Anyone know how to change them? I seem to recall doing it once, but I'm at a loss to remember how...

Thanks.

Can't you duplicate the album entry? The dupe will be unlocked, then keep it as the original.

Pretty sure this works
Click on properties (track or album)
then just click on the length & change it
Just tried it, works for me

This doesn't work for me. The field is locked against editing. Do you remember how you created the entry you were able to edit? I.E. Did you download it from FreeDB or somewhere, or did you enter it manually? Thanks.

1) select album record
2) menu Tools -> Duplicate. This will create exact copy of the album, only it will be fully editable.
3) delete original entry.

Finally tried this today; it worked great. Thanks! Evidently albums downloaded from external sources have the track field locked for some reason.
