If you doubt even the developer's suggestion as linked in this post:

> [@FLAC "Comment" metadata field doesn't appear in Windows 10](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/flac-comment-metadata-field-doesnt-appear-in-windows-10/17520/3):
>
> Windows Explorer doesn't use the COMMENT field for the comments in FLAC, but instead uses DESCRIPTION. If you'd like Mp3tag to instead transparently write the DESCRIPTION field when you enter something in COMMENT, you can add a dedicated mapping at File → Options → Tags → Mapping using Tag: VorbisComment Source: DESCRIPTION Target: COMMENT The ID3v2 language setting mentioned in the previous post (now at File → Options → Tags → Advanced) only applies to ID3v2 tags, used, e.g…

then there will be no way around it but that you have to test it yourself.

- Set up the mapping,
- enter something in the field for comment in a FLAC file and also for an mp3 file.
- save the modification,
- check in your player
- check in the windows explorer
- whether you see the expected data.
