I've download several webm audio files from YouTube. I imported them into the latest MP3Tag 3.29. Added some tags: title, album, artist.

When viewing these files in Windows file explorer, the only tag that show is the title. Album and artist are blank.

This only happens with webm files (Opus codec) downloaded from YouTube.

Here is a sample file you can test:

I am not quite sure what the sample file should show - I don't see any tags, neither in MP3tag nor in Windows.

There are no tags in the sample file. You need to load it into MP3Tag and add your own Title, Artist, Album, etc. and then look at it in Windows file explorer, and you will see that they will not be shown there.

This is what I see in Windows File Explorer - but only with [Icaros](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/issue-with-cover-art-writing-to-mp3-files-but-not-to-flac-files-in-3-20/68438/10) activated - for your webm file:

Without Icaros, there are no properties visible at all.

You would have to ask Microsoft about the reasons.

I would say that this is not a Mp3tag bug.  
It's the usual (very limited) behaviour of Windows File Explorer.  
Mp3tag adds the tags to the `.webm` file, save them and let us change it as expected.
