Several parties need to fix the FLAC tag issues together.
I used WMP+Plug-in to play FLAC for years, FB2000 for convert file and Mp3tage for most tag content editing. I tried various ways to let Win10 WMP display FLAC tag information normally as before. Although it is not perfect, it really has some improvements. If your original FLAC tag no show, Here are some tips. I also hope Mp3tag can help on item 3. 'Date' issue & item 4. 'Artist' no show.
(In my case, I use Mp3tage & FB2000, you might like use other tools)
- Check if any 'Artist' length longer than 31 characters? If yes, add a short 'Album Artist' (less than 31 length) to the Album. Save the tag and you will see the 'Track#' & 'Title' showed.
- At explorer check if all files Album image there? If not, load the album with FB2000, select all files and force all tags re-Save again. (Use all properties, delete 'Album Artist', YES to save and re-add 'Album Artist' than save again). You can see the Album image now. (I tried Mp3stag to save the album tag, but image no show)
- WMP FLAC 'date' no show issue. Actually WMP display 'date' by takes metadata. But most tag editor tools support only, so we need use WMP or Explorer to edit 'YEAR' to show. I don't know WMP or Tools which one is right? and who should fix the issue?
- 'Artist' no show issue similar to 'date', you can only use WMP to edit it. Once you get the 'Artist' showed at WMP (Explore still no), you cannot use other tools to modify it, otherwise the 'Artist' will be overridden.
It seems FLAC tag has different versions or someone didn't follow the rules. I have no idea who response for what issues? only wish solve it ASAP.
Can Mp3tag see any help to item 3 & 4?
