Something about mp3 files being unable to play on my iPod

Question

For my problem I'll use screenshots to aid in my explanation.
I was editing ID tags for all my songs until this problem came up.

As you can see from the first picture, the "Album" entry for the highlighted songs were cut off(i have no idea why)
So I changed them directly through Windows Explorer

Now that that is done. I try to drag and drop the 2 songs to my iPod Touch and I get this message.

The same thing occurs with any other song that I've edited tags from Windows Explorer. However, I'm sure there is no data corruption as these files play fine on foobar2000, Winamp, WMP.
As for why I'm editing them through Windows Explorer rather than from iTunes, thats because for whatever reason the tags in Windows Explorer won't change along with those in iTunes. And because I like my stuff perfect I can't help but mess with both =/
Any help would be appreciated... Also, uninstall-reinstall of iTunes didn't work.

Being an administrator on your system doesn't necessarily mean iTunes has write permissions. In particular, if your data is on an NTFS drive that has moved from one Windows installation to another you may find various restrictions in the security set-up. However in order to fix them, first you have to be able to access them.
*Missing Security Tab in Windows XP*
If you have Windows XP, and your hard drive is formatted as NTFS, you can set permissions on files so that only users you specify can access them. However, if your Windows XP computer is not part of a Domain on a network, you may notice that there is no Security tab when you right-click a file and choose Properties.
To reveal the Security tab follow these steps:
1. Open Windows Explorer, and choose Folder Options from the Tools menu.
2. On the View tab, scroll to the bottom of the Advanced Settings and clear the check box next to "Use Simple File Sharing."
3. Click OK to apply the change, and you should now have a Security tab when viewing the properties of a file or folder on an NTFS volume.
Right-click on your top-level iTunes folder, click Properties. On the General tab clear the Resd-only box if checked, then switch to the Security tab. Make sure that your own account (or Everyone) and SYSTEM have Full Control. Apply the changes to the folder and all sub-folders. If for some reason you are not allowed to apply the change you should be able to use your Administrator status to take ownership of the folder after which you will be able to modify the security permissions.
I generally use iTunes to set my tags and it works fine for me. I also occasionaly use Magic File Renamer or The Rename to do batch edits, e.g. rename file from tags.
