Hi, I have a Wav file (24 bit 192 Khz) size 3.2 Gb (45 minutes of meditation music). I cannot edit the 1d3 tag. Perhaps a too big file? Regards, @b ---

How do you know that you cannot edit the tag? Please describe what you did, what you expected and what you got. ---

The file has no tags, so I tried to add the name, tittel of the album and the composer, year, genre etc. When I do and click save nothing happens. When I close and reopen Mp3Tag all added information is not saved. ---

Probably, the file has to be rewritten to add the tag data. This can take a while, esp. with such a large file. ---

Where can I send the audio file to Ohrenkino? Using WeTransfer for instance? I don't see an upload possibillity in this forum. ---

Hi Ohrenkino. Uploading the file is no longer nessasery. The mystery is solved. There was an error in the file. I cut of some seconds at the end of the recording I downloaded as a free gift-file from [soundliaison.com](http://soundliaison.com) in Adobe Audition. After that action I could add id3 information without any problem. Thanks for your time. The issue in this community can be closed. Regards, @b ---
