Works fine for me on W10 when I test on the released 2.3.0 version and the latest alpha test 2.3.1 :?

Are you sure that it's a valid Ogg file?

Is it a secret what the web page said about the file?
Perhaps you could copy and paste the info (preferably using the "</>" button to put "code" tags around it, but don't worry about it if you don't know how to do that).

It could be helpful for other users if you shared that knowledge.

Sorry, I phrased that horribly, i just needed to find the tags of the song and audacity was the only way I knew to find those, however the website you sent me showed me the tag, and I think that you are right with the invalid OGG.
