Great!! thank you very much! A question, maybe you can give me an answer. I often find it difficult to get the TAG data to be read by windows explorer. I'm not talking about common tags (name, artist, etc.) I wish I could have more TAGs writable in Mp3Tag and readable with windows explorer. Curr…

I see that you write V2.4 tags ... See this thread on V2.4 and WIndows Explorer: [image] Problem with Windows Explorer Support I use Mp3Tag 2.42 (IDV3V2.3 UTF-16 and can not visualice the column "comment" in the Windows Explorer XP and Vista. With MP3tag 242 (IDV.2.4 UTF8…

where can I find a list of usable fields in WE and Mp3Tag?

MP3tag is not the important part here. The question is: which tag fields does the Windows Explorer support (and then most likely, MP3tag will be able to fill them). But a quick internet search did not lead to success: apparently there is no list of id3 fields available that are supported by WE. So…

Yes, I understand your advice, strange that there is no tag table in WE since it is still full of tag fields (but then I can't write them what do I need? For nothing) ...

I think no one has ever compiled a list with all ID3 tag fields visible in windows (10) file explorer. Not for ID3v2.3 nor the new supported ID3v2.4. Even if you find out which one should be supported (in one way or another) it's still tricky to match them to all the available column names in WE. A…
