First: I don't know if this issue is the same or similar to what is being discussed here if not please let me know. I've had an issue with Windows 10 for awhile but I'm now reporting it. I am entering all my tag info the way I've always have (BTW: version 3.17 and maybe a couple versions earlier) …

This has nothing to do with the context menu. What kind of files are these? MP3? MP4? FLAC? WAV? Which tag version do you write? (2.3? 2.4? 1?)

These are MP3 and flac files. The 'Tag' label on the albums I checked all seem to be coming up as 'ID3v (ID3v1 ID3v2.3)'. The flac's are 'FLAC (FLAC)'. Thanks Sam

FLAC files and the windows explorer are a story of their own. Have you checked the mp3 files for integrity? [image] How to check files for errors? Howto It’s required and often helps to reduce support cycles to check files for errors before filing a bug report…

Have you tried rebuilding the WMP database? It keeps its its own tag data database, and sometimes won't read the new data. I've had this problem several times and have had to rebuild the database. I navigate to C:\Users\my_user_name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player. There are a number of *.wmdb …

[image] buckeye: it will rebuild the database, reading the info from the mp3 files. Alternatively, delete the files without metadata from WMP but only from the library. Then select the function to restore deleted library elements. I don't think, though, that the WMP library has a lot to do …

The OP said, [image] ullumsp: ...but now Windows File Explorer and Windows Media Player does not show any tag info You wouldn't think that WE uses the WMP's database to divine the MP3 tags, but they seem to fail together.

I think you can see MP3 metadata without ever having startet WMP and without that data being present in the WMP database. You are right in that respect (I think) that WMP and WE use the same functions to get the metadata. That is why it would be interesting to see what the test with the checking p…

Thanks for the responses! I have downloaded and ran 'MP3 Diags' not sure what a lot of this info means but I do have a complete chart from that app. I have always avoided using WMP's tagging methods because I like to catalog Artist names "last_name, first_name" and other entries that WMP doesn't us…

I am not sure how your information helps anyone who cannot look over your shoulder. For us bystanders, the information from MP3diags would have been quite interesting just to make sure that the files are ok. Any unknown streams should be an alarm signal. If it is clear that the files are OK, then…

Yes. I did move out the WMDB files and it doesn't work either. Like you mentioned I'm thinking (based on my very limited knowledge) it is probably Windows, not only the player but maybe an issue with the OS (since the problem occurs in File Explorer also). I will try another player and see if it wo…
