Hi, thanks for the awesome program. I am having some issues with some high res formats that I have purchased. .m4a tag says(mp4, MPEG-4 ALAC, bit=3269, freq=9600, mode=2 issue is meta tags won't aren't read in Microsoft programs, WMP, MP, file explorer .flac (version1.3.2 2017, bit=3122, fre…

I have many hi res FLAC and m4a files at 24 bit and 96kHz, 176.4kHz, and 192kHz that all edit fine with mp3tag, and display in Win10. AFAIK WMP is not able to play FLAC files, but I could be wrong. Certainly it could not when it mattered to me. Explorer should easily show both formats, but it may …

But what about 32 bit files? (nevermind, they aren't 32 bit, I checked with a different app) BTW I am not using any other software besides MP3tag, VLC (for playback), and the mentioned WMP, WP, and previously Groove. So, if it's not that then possibly a corrupted tag or file? But they read fine in…

For FLAC see e.g. this topic: [image] Windows10 FLAC support Tag invisible Support 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…

So far you have used only Microsoft software to see or not see the tags. Foobar2000 would be a player that supports a lot of formats - so if that player shows the tags as expected, I would book the whole affair down as Microsoft issue. if there are problems with the files, then Foobar has some too…

[image] shows 32 bit in VLC, but not in some other players (Resonic)

OK, if you use your own test methods, fine. And if MP3tag shows everything the way you expect it, even better. If your players have problems, then I would investigate what their requirements are.

My issue is the same as shown in that thread. I think the cause sounds the same, too. But I tried his fix (ctrl-x) cut metadata, saved. Then I entered new data and saved. No changes.

You can add a column in mp3tag and use the value %_bitspersample% to display what the bit depth is for your files and %_samplerate% to show the sample rates. I wouldn't depend on what Windows is showing there, as you have seen how dependable (not) that is.

Yes I do have a few 32-bit sampler files, and these work fine when edited in mp3tag as well. So I don't think this is the cause of the problem you are seeing.

I would check the mp4 files with Foobar2000.
