Hello,
I want to subject a small defect with Mp3Tag 2.36.
Sometimes, the tag "Comment" shows 2 sentences identical (See screenshot -
Line "Commentaires" in french).
If I delete one of the lines, the tag is not visible any more in the
properties of Windows (See screenshot).
(Sorry for my english, I'm french !)

Thank you

I don't think that this is a bug in Mp3tag, but a limitation of Windows Explorer, because it reads comments in the current locale only.
Since you're using a french version of Windows, you have to create a new registry key HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\Software\Moebius\Mp3tag\Settings\ID3v2DefaultLang and set it to FRA or FRE

Hello,
Please, « ID3v2DefaultLang » is a registry key ou value DWORD or other value ?

Hello
Sorry...
... After several attempts, that seems to work!
I made the modification, then a test... Identical Problem.
Then I restarted the computer. And now, it is OK!

How did you manage to get the ID3v1, IDV2 & APE tabs in the properties dialogue of Window Explorer?
If I look at the properties of an mp3 file with MS Explorer I only have the first and last tab.

I think the registry structure has changed, but I cannot tell you the right path since I don't have Mp3tag installed on this PC.

It's in the language file mp3tag.lng now (key \_M\_STR\_ID3V2LANG).

Hello,
Thank you!
It is just necessary to replace « eng » by « fra »?

Hello,
I tested « fre » and « fra »...
When I place the song in the player, the odd characters appear next to **Title** and **Artist**...
Which can be the problem?
Thank you

Intresting this old post.
I'm wondering if it is also possible to adjust Windows explorer so that it also displays the comment tag that is in another language than the langugae of the OS itself.
When Explorer should also show tags with the ENG language descriptor there is no need to change the settings of mp3tag and also no problems anymore with iTunes, Winamp, Foobar2000 etc...
Is there a register key for this?
