like Craig I don't have a clue, what you mean with "grabs on to
the file somehow and doesn't let go", there is no magic in these
operating systems. A better and more detailed description of what
is happening to you may help.
Compared to older systems like Win95/98/Me you may experience,
that a file is locked as "in use", but I don't see a reason, why
the system itself should use all your MP3 files. What's your
player software?
If this lock is what you mean, you should try Unlocker to see,
what programm uses your files and to remove this lock.
