Tags not appearing on Windows Explorer

[chicagoboyrn]

Hello, good day to all! I hope someone can help me. Problem is when i go to Windows Explorer, the tag (artist, album, title, track * etc) is not showing up. When i put the cursor under each track, a window pops showing dbpoweramp tags. Therefore the tag is there, just not showing up on Explorer. The album cover/art does show on Explorer.
I am using Vista 32, using foobar2000 as my media player. I hope someone can help me. Thank you very much!

For which audio type?

@Spoon, Thanks for your response. I am glad you asked this question because when i tried it with another file, mp3, tags where showing on Windows Explorer. The problem I am having is with FLAC files. I wonder what could be causing this.

Re: Tags not appearing on Windows Explorer

Windows does not natively support FLAC, so dBpoweramp has to add the extensions, run dBpoweramp configuration and make sure that the Property handler is enabled.

Re: Tags not appearing on Windows Explorer

Hi Spoon, having quite similar issue like "chicagoboyrn" I went through all of the settings you suggested but still no luck.
I just moved to Widows8 64 and installed R15.1. For any audio ripped/converted as/to wav format the tags are not showing up in Windows Explorer (Title, Album, etc columns.)
Strangely enough I can see tags for the wav files processed in the past with the same software on W7 before switching to W8.
The property handler is "On" and wave (wav) format is not ticked in "Exclusions".
Tried to un-installing the software and re-installing without security software enabled, installed latest version 15.2 - still the same - no tags showing on Windows Explorer processed on current system - can you help with this? Thank you.

I have seen this also, it is on the todo list to look at.

Re: Tags not appearing on Windows Explorer

Spoon,

Was anything ever figured out on this issue?

I reverted back to Windows 7 because my wav file tags were not showing in Windows 10 like they had been in Windows 7.

I am ready to buy a laptop and maybe even upgrade my v14.4 dbPoweramp version but I have held off because the new laptop would be a music server for my home stereo and I don't want Windows 10 if my wav files won't be shown as I used to having in Windows 7.

Thanks!

Re: Tags not appearing on Windows Explorer

The issue is Windows has its own tag reader for wave and it is not letting dBpoweramp take over it. I not know of a way around this currently.
