Hi,
I have a mp3 which the bitrate and length is not recognized by the app. There is no issue in the file as it is showing correctly in Windows explorer and Windows Media Player.
I cannot attach the file because it is 5 MB. I wish the size limitation was at leas 10 MB

Thanks for improving the app.

There is no issue in file but mp3tag app does not show the bitrate and length of the song.

Yes. You said so.
So: what is the result of the checks with the utilities?
That MP3tag does not show this information usually means that the header of the file is corrupt.
