    Windows 10 No Longer Shows Details for mp3 and wav?

    Hello,

    Recently upgraded my version of Windows 10 the other day.

    I am using Reference 7.2 and Windows 10 Pro, build 19042.572 version 20H2.

    After upgrading I noticed Windows Explorer no longer shows specific details for mp3s or wav files, but strangely it still does for flac audio files.

    It no longer shows any details such as sample size or sample rate, or even channels.

    This was definitely there before I upgraded my OS.

    I tried searching prior posts but most of them link to old Windows 7 OS.

    Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there any way of getting it back?

    I have tried uninstalling and using the removal tool multiple times, and after restarting my computer, nothing changes.

    This new release features many enhancements, it is 20% faster on multi-core machines and is future-proofed through handling 64 cores. A new DSD encoder is included as standard (Reference), as well as many previously optional codecs, which are all updated to the latest releases. A new Quick Convert right explorer right click

      I still cannot load details for files other than flac in the Explorer.

        dBpoweramp does not supply the details for Wave and Mp3, Microsoft do themselves, however you can override:

        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

          Thank-you, that worked!

          I definitely had this before I upgraded to Windows 10 Pro, build 19042.572 version 20H2.

          It annoyed me not being able to see sample size and such with wav files, I don't know why Microsoft decided to suddenly remove it.

          Thanks again!
