see e.g. this thread about the problems that the windows explorer has with FLAC files:

> I used MP3TAG several years for my FLAC music tag editing, the FLAC files played by WMP with some plug-ins in Win7 & Win8.1 without any problem. Recently, after my PC upgraded to WIN10, the Windows native support FLAC function cause lots of Tag display problems. 2/3 of my FLAC file tags information cannot display neither in WMP nor in Explorer normally. I think that isn't MP3TAG problem, but it seems Microsoft has its own FLAC tag specification? I need your advice.
