Hi everyone,

I made modifications on my mp3 files through the mp3 tag software. But after I did so, the comments field in Windows Explorer didn't show my previous tags in the comments field I had put in my mp3 files. I see the option "keep" in the left area of the software, under comments. I tried to erase this field of tags, then I put the comment I want to put and I save the mp3 files. But in Windows Explorer, there's no modification, the field is still blank.  
So how do I do to set the comments field in Windows Explorer as I want using mp3 tag and avoiding to have to right-click on each file and put the comments manually ? Because it would take so much time to do it manually. I have also noticed that when I right-click on the top of comments field,  
I have access to columns, and in the dialog box that appears, I click on comment and I have succeeded in typing a "s" in comments.  
The version of mp3 tag I use is 2.75, I'm under Windows 10, and I use the french language in the software.  
Any help would be appreciated.  
Thank you for answering.

In addition to the topics poster referred to, you can try to set the ID3v2 comment language code (ISO-639-2) at Options \> Tags \> Advanced to **fra** (if you're using a French version of Windows) and save the tags again.

Kind regards  
Florian
