Windows Media Player and VLC having challenges reading dbPoweramp default tags

[wilbur_the_goos]

I'm ripping a lot of CDs to FLAC. Going great due to illustrate and Mr. Spoon!

I'm a JRiver user, so this issue isn't that big of a deal, but media libraries like VLC and Windows Media Player seem to be having challenges with dbPoweramp's tags. JRiver is working perfectly.

Does anybody know if there's something I can to to adjust things, or should I just leave well enough alone?

THanks!

Windows media player cannot read flac files natively, and VLC is not really an player. There are no issues with dBpoweramps FLAC tags, we have been writing them for a good 10 years without issue.

plays fine with dbpa rips!

You need a 2nd component which can read tags for WMP also.
