Hello there,

I've used Mp3Tag for some years and very happy with it, I've always just edited tags on Mp3s for my own songs  
to be burnt onto cd or made available digitally.

I'm pretty familiar with the software tool however recently I've tried to use WAVs instead of Mp3s to edit the tags, usually I'd simply drag  
and drop the Mp3s into the tool and then edit and save the tags, all good.

However, I couldn't drag and drop the WAVs, I had to put them in a folder and select the folder, and then on saving the edited tags on the files,  
it comes up with an error message saying it can't write the tag?

If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it, I don't want to use another tag editor as very happy with this one.

PS I've uploaded a screen shot of the error message.

Regards,

Dan
