Customizing Windows Explorer Details (ID Tags Shown)

When an audio track is selected (such as mp3) details are shown at the bottom of explorer about the ID Tags, these fields can be customised (or at the very least re-organized), to do so open registry editor:

start >> run >> regedit

Open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and look at the extension you wish to customize, such as .mp3, select it and look at the (Default) value for it, for example it might be WMP11.AssocFile.MP3

Next open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMP11.AssocFile.MP3 (substitute with your value) and the item of interest is

PreviewDetails

The default value set by dBpoweramp (if editing produces undesired results) is:

[code]prop:System.Title;System.Music.AlbumArtist;System.Music.Artist;System.Music.AlbumTitle;System.Rating;System.Music.Genre;System.Music.Mood;System.Music.Composer;System.Music.Conductor;System.Music.PartOfSet;System.Music.TrackNumber;System.Music.IsCompilation;System.Size;System.Media.Duration;System.Audio.ChannelCount;System.Audio.SampleRate;System.Audio.SampleSize;System.Audio.EncodingBitrate[/code]

looks like perfect things !
