You could try to rename an (mp3-) file of which you know that is usually found by MP3tag to the extension webm, add that extension to the usually read files and see if that file also appears.

I tested this thoroughly: going from MP3 to WEMB and the nto MKV, from MKV to WEBM and then MP3, etc.; while also adding data into tag fields, I used old and new files

As long I the end result was an MP3 or MKV format, it was beign displayed in Mp3tag


And going back to

Un-supported vs. no-extension files

I do not recall doing anything I long as I can remember it always was like this for me That is what also I do: I use listed option from the shell menu to create a TXT file or any other file, be it in Windows Explorer or FreeCommander, name it and remove the extension. Or I can copy any file and rename it to whatever, also without extension. And it will show on the list of files in Mp3tag. But if I re-add to it an extension like MIDI or JPG it will not longer be loaded up; but then I can remo…

It says there that I have this problem since Windows XP: I add files to the list in Mp3tag but they do not appear

Back then it was a case of MP3 files remade into MP333. It persists to this day. I even came up with a reverse test: I replaced MP3 with MP333 on the list. And guess what- MP3 were no longer loaded visible in Mp3tag but MP333 did not start to appear. And after changing MP333 to MP3

the linked external thread recommends to use mkv containers - and they are already supported by MP3tag.

So aside from using other software for video, as a workaround I could / should rename all WEMB into MKV?

I have also run Take Ownership it on

C:\Program Files (x86)

.. and you are making a mess of the security of your windows-installation.

I really would like to be able to turn off all or almost all of that built in by Microsoft security, with a single click. To me the number of drawback on Windows 10 in comparison to Windows 7 is staggering- and many of them are on the account of security reasons. Unfortunately users are treated like idiots. I do not mind that- as long as there is an advanced option that says to the system "But I am not an idiot, I know what I am doing, so please bugger off with your kindergarten approach- and if I really do mess something then I have a multiple images of the OS to bring back the system in a working condition"

And if I have any doubts if what I think of Windows 10 has relation to reality, all I have to do is to compare the number of various registry hacks that I already have [and which number will increase in time ] with the number of the old ones for Windows 7

But thank you for your concern. [When I will restore the system, the Mp3tag folders will one again be guarded]
