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) I visualice it but the year column is not the correct one in Windows Explorer XP and Vista.
Please, can you give me any solution for that?
Thank you in advance.
Sorry for my english.

Windows Explorer still doesn't support ID3v2.4 with UTF-8, simply use ID3v2.3 with UTF-16 instead.
