Windows - Editting Metadata - What's it doing?

$

So every time I purchase a new audiobook I do the same thing - strip the DRM, convert to MP3 and add the title and author to the file's metadata. I do this by simply right-clicking the file in Windows explorer, choosing properties and under the details tab I enter the new values.

Very straight forward and easy.

But slow.

When I hit the Apply or OK button I get that little graph animation (the same one you get for copying files) and it takes a couple of minutes. It's as if changing the metadata it's got to read/re-write the whole file - which is ridiculous.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is it just me? Am I doing it wrong?
