Hi Matthew and welcome to our :-),

How big is the size of the MP3 file that you are trying to upload to the media library?

Looking forward to hear from you.

You might need to change the maxRequestLength in the Web.conifg as the file size is limited to 4mb
```
<system.web>
  <httpRuntime  maxRequestLength="102400" executionTimeout="360"/>
</system.web>
```
"maxRequestLength - Attribute limits the file upload size for ASP.NET application. This limit can be used to prevent denial of service attacks (DOS) caused by users posting large files to the server. The size specified is in kilobytes. The default is "4096" (4 MB). Max value is "1048576" (1 GB) for .NET Framework 1.0/1.1 and "2097151" (2 GB) for .NET Framework 2.0."

Hi Matt,

The web.config file is located in the folder structure of your Umbraco installation.

I have just created a screenshot for you so you have an idea where to find it.

Hope this helps,
