4RUNNER 484 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 My son (my computer guy) and I have searched and can't find an answer. Windows file explorer will not read/display about 75% of my music directories file tags. From the reading we have done it is a very common problem but have not been able to resolve. All the data is there and can be read by many other programs seems to be a windows problem. Anybody point me in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk1Bum 9,803 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 What version of Windows? https://www.sevenforums.com/music-pictures-video/171608-windows-explorer-not-showing-mp3-tags.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie 16,429 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I would check to be sure all updates to Windows are done; Windows Explorer is a picky program so I went with a third-party file manager. NexusFile works extremely well and it's freeware... http://www.xiles.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will look at nexusfile thanks Another option, is to find out what character set DOES get read by windows, and re-write your tags to that character set (many tag writers will automate that for you) Edited November 17, 2019 by RichP714 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
