Hi Florian,
I just found out that "MP3Tag 2.43" reported the Wrong Bitrate and Frequency for 2 of my MP3 clips in an album! Mp3Tag reported a 96Kbps with 32000Hz.
I tested the 2 clips in "Gold Wave Editor Pro 10.2.2" and Gold Wave reported Correctly that my clips are in fact 192Kbps with 44100Hz.
I was wondering if anybody else has experienced this and reported it.
Thanks,
G! 🙂

Yes - I'd this problem with 2.42 - other software displays it correctly - only [mp3tag.de](http://mp3tag.de) displayed it wrong (and maybe still shows it wrong for me too - when you have the problem with 2.43 ...).
See my report here: [/t/7391/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/7391/1)

Hi Pueblo,
**Thanks** for your reply!
Paeblo ... You are way over my expertise ... I saw your post and analyzing the Headers & so forth ... I am more of "Click & Go" type of a person ... bascially a Newbie who knows enough to get by and Be Dangerous to Myself and my laptop! 😆
Thanks again for the info ... I guess let's hope Florian will go after this ... if in fact is a Bug!
G! 🙂

I just had a similar issue via email where the file contained _multiple_ ID3v2 tags (written by a buggy ID3v2 writer).
After removing all tags by using [Ctrl+R] several times, the files are displayed correctly. Maybe this helps?

Another fix that often works is using [foobar2000](http://www.foobar2000.org)'s Utils \> Rebuild MP3 Stream from the context menu.

Hi Florian,
Welcome back from your Vacation.
THANKS for your replies. I'll try your solutions ... I am sure it will work!
Looks like I need to get on the band wagon of Foobar and install it and start getting used to it.
Have a Great Day!
G! 🙂
