Does anybody know why MP3TAG can tag some WAV files but not all? I tagged all of Legends Never Die, which was in WAV format, with covert art, album, everything it needed. I'm confused as to why I can't tag other WAV files that are official as well. Any help?

What do you call "official"?

[[X] WAV file cannot be opened for writing](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/17857/1)[Taggen von Wave-Files](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/18607/1) In both cases the cause was a non standard wave-file. It seems that there is software that does not creeate full standard wave-files. Test if rewriting the wave-file with ffmpeg or Audacity solves the problem.
There is also the possibility that you do not have the rights for changing the content.

So, for the WAV files I was able to edit, I got them when I purchased some merchandise from an official rapper's website (Juice WRLD). I was able to edit all metadata for these WAV files but not some other WAV files that were also official. That's what I mean by official. I find it strange that I can do it for some, but not all.

So did you check the access rights for the files you cannot edit or tried to rewrite them i.e with ffmpeg?
