    In Windows 10 explorer the "Comments" field doesn't show the "Comment" tag

    Probably the "Comments" and "Comment" are different fields. No such problem using XP

    The explorer popup and audio attributes are fine.

    R 16.1

        See:

        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


        Not sure if comment will show though.

          I found .mp3 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.mp3 and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\.mp3

          Which is right to rename?

            None of those, the correct path is:

            HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\PropertySystem\SystemPropertyHandlers

              OK, Administrators have Full Control, I renamed .mp3 to ._mp3 in
              HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\PropertySystem\SystemPropertyHandlers
              , rebooted, the ._mp3 is there, there is no .mp3, but the Comments column is empty in the explorer.

              I do not know whether you can still do something, anyway I thank you for the help, fortunately the batch converter and other programs shows the Comment tag fine.

              This was very interesting and informative.
