    WAV ID tags not displayed properly in Windows Explorer

    Hello! This is not a dbpoweramp issue but a Windows explorer one. I did use dbpoweramp to edit the tags of a collection of wav files in Greek (track and album title) but they are displayed as a series of English letters and question marks in windows explorer. Out of curiosity I converted the entire album to flac and the tags are displayed just fine. It's the wav version that's messed up. Also the pop-up info window shows the correct tags, so the issue is strictly wav files in explorer. I am adding a screen shot. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

    What do you have setup in dBpoweramp Control Center > Audio Codecs > List / Options > Wave ID Tagging?

      Windows 10 comes with the ability to read ID Tags for a bunch of standard codecs such as: mp3, wave, flac, m4a, opus, ogg The issue can be, that Microsoft do not support the full range of ID Tags that dBpoweramp does, such as Wave ID3 chunk, or the full subset of id3v2.4 tags. Even worse for opus and ogg Microsoft do not read

        They are the default settings:
        Tag creation (default - LIST & ID3)
        LIST chunk Position [data][LIST]
        LIST Album Tag IPRD
        LIST Track Tag ITRK
        LIST Padding Type 'JUNK' Chunk
        LIST Padding Size 2KB
        ID3v2 Version V2.3
        ID3v2 Text Encoding ANSI

          Thanks for your reply. The registry trick didn't work

            Windows will only show the ID3 List tags in explorer, this format is limited to A-Z characters. dBpoweramp also writes a id3v2.4 tag, but very few programs will read that.

              Thanks again Spoon. I can definitely live with that minor issue. The important thing is that the correct titles are being displayed by the audio player app on Windows or anywhere else.
