Hi fellas, I have a wav file which is 5.16GB large. I dragged this file into Mp3Tag and I coudln't add tag info to the file, the software popped up an error message. I figured that it was because the file was so large. Any help with this?? [12]

There are several other benefits to moving to FLAC, including much better tag support for starters. Too many players have limited support for tags in wav files. Even if @Florian can/will make changes to mp3tag, I suspect you will still have issues down the line with the files in excess of the curren…

Thanks for the info. I am capturing Enigma albums which are meant to be uncut. The album was produced like an "uncut" feeling.
