Hello everyone, I am new to MP3Tag and used it for the first time recently. I mainly added some album covers and fixed some missing tags. It all went very well and I was very happy with how my library looked afterwards. Unfortunately though, I discovered an issue that occurred right after I was done editing: All of the modified files were kind of corrupted, i.e. the sound was distorted. I am absolutely sure that the issue stems from the editing as I tried to open the files with different music players (Windows Media Player, VLC) and on different systems (Windows 10 Laptop, Android Smartphone) to eliminate any possible error source. The the problem persists however. Thats why I am addressing you guys now. Is this a known issue and/or is there a fix available? I undid the changes on some files to see if the files would get restored back to normal, but to no avail. As I edited almost 5 GB of files in one go it would be really unfortunate if I cant rescue the songs... Does anyone know what to do? --- _[View the full topic](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/mp3-files-corrupted-after-editing/17519)._
