I've been using MP3tag for under a year but use it often. As a musician who records at home, I sometimes want my tracks to be higher than 44.1 and 24 bit but when I download a track at a high resolution, the tagging doesn't work. Is there a way to do this or is it a known item?

Which audio file format do you use? WAV? FLAC? MP3?

I can use WAV or FLAC. When I download from Pro Tools, I'd like to do it at 24 bit/96 kHz as a WAV and tag it but when I save that within mp3tag, it doesn't save so I convert it to 16bit/44.1kHz and it works.

Some players don’t look at tags in wav files correctly. You should be OK with FLAC or ALAC if you want to keep them most compatible.

They all play ok, I just wanted to reduce the amount of script in them as that can cause problems with my Bluesound players + I never get to see what the track is in my Arcam Streaming CD player before the display finishes as there is to much info. When I went to edit them most of the ID tags just d…

I don't have problems with a number of 16 bit wave files nor do I have problems with flac. I particulaly want hese 24bit wav files as they sound so good. I use either Bluesound players or through an Arcam cd player into my hifi. They still play ok it was just in the tag editior that I appear to b…

[image] blueapple: They all play ok, This does not say a lot about the file integrity. They could be ok but they could just as well be not ok and therefore untaggable. It would be nice, if you could load them into an audio editor and save them again and then see whether the tags now stay.

II suspect the high resolution or high bitrate isn't causing the problem. Rather, they could be corrupt in some form (incorrect existing tag format, corrupt header, etc.). Recoding to a lower resolution and bit rate will likely fix these problems and consequently tagging with an MP3 tag works agai…

I do not want to convert them to anything else. These files were downloaded from an official source not got of UTUBE etc. But thanks for your thoughts. So I will run them through Audacity and hopefully not have to conver them to 16bit WAV's I can get those directly from the cds that I have anyway …

You do not have to sacrifice resolution downsampling to 16bit. You can still have 24bit FLAC and ALAC versions in lossless formats. These should enable you to add more tags then Wav. Further, if you convert to one of these formats, you can then convert back to wav without any degradation. Then try t…

Yet, when I tagged the sample files, I did not see anything suspicious.
Are you sure that the files are OK?
