What I want:
-Be able to display, sort and select mp3 files using typical tags using Windows Explorer ( i had this capability in the past with Vista and DMC versions prior to 14.2)
The problem:
- All tag columns selected beyond name, type, size, data created and data modified are blank
- upon clicking on a particular column header for a blank column, I get "unspecified" as the only selection
- pane area at bottom of a Windows Explorer window displays essentially the same: all the tags I want show "specify the..." instead of the actual tag data
What I have:
- all mp3 files have just ID3v2.3 tags as tagged via Ripper and Mp3tag - I have scrubbed my tags throughly to ensure I have no other other tag formats and only have about 10 tags
- 14.2 reference
- Windows 7 32 bit premium
What I've tried, with no impact on any of the problems noted above:
- within DMC Configuration, enabling and disabling "thumbnail and property handler"
- within Windows Explorer, changing the folder options for "optimized for" between music, documents, and general
- within Windows Explorer, tried "allow folder to have contents indexed in addition to properties"
- within Windows Explorer, tried the above with folders with songs within and not within my music library
- searched this site for any other hints going back 5 years and the internet in general (hydrogenaudio, microsoft help sites, etc)
No joy on anything. What do I need to do? thanks.
