If a bug then a bug in the WIndows explorer?

Sorry,
When I copy Tag from Flac track to Mp3 Track (In this case track 1) the information on Mp3Tag is correct for mp3.
But not in file properties (See windows explorer).
If someone speaks French it would be easier for all. 🙂

Have you checked the integrity of the files with the linked tools?
Also, a screendump of the extended tags dialogue (Alt-T) would be nice,

I doubt that ...
as even the window title of the extended tags dialogue shows "Error: MP3 header parse error".
Make sure that the MP3 file is OK - check the file again with MP3diags and MP3val.

I'm sorry. Many errors
Mp3 files have been converted from Flac files with VLC application.
Maybe that's where the problem comes from ?

Thank you for testing again.

Yes, most likely.
You could try to convert the files again,
test them before you tag them
and then see whether there are any errors.
If so, you know that the conversion causes the problem.
It also looks as though there is a corrupt header as well - MP3val says: no mp3 file.

I tried again to convert from Flac to Mp3 with VLC.
The resulting file from this new conversion doesn't work (No sound).
I think that the problem come from VLC and/or the way used for this conversion.
I will look at VLC to try to understand where the problem is.
If I found the problem, i update this post with the resut.
Thanks for your help.

You could try lamedropXPd instead, very easy to use und also works with flac-files.

Don't forget to right click on the lamedropXPd drag & drop landing zone at the first start and configure it to your needs. 😉

Mp3Tag works correctly.
The problem came from parameters used by VLC. I hadn't controlled these paramters.
Sorry for bothering you and thanks for your help.
