It is not possible to edit files on Android 15. The program sees the files, but is unable to read or edit them. After opening the file, the program window is empty, as if there are no tags in the file. I think the problem lies in the permissions. Because everything worked on A14, the same version of the program is no longer able to work on the A15.

I have Android 15 too, and I am still able to read, edit and save my files. Maybe you need to add permissions for the app, on my phone, the following permissions are granted: Files, Music and audio, Photos and videos.

I have All permissions allowed. So what is the problem in?
Comment 4 maxel85 2025-05-30 12:20:22 UTC
I have solved the problem. It lies in the behavior of the Samsung shell. If you manually set permissions in the application settings to do this before the first launch of the application, the system shows that permission has been granted, although in fact it does not exist. I just cleared Kid3's data and restarted it, the app requested permissions and everything worked. How do I close this discussion?
