    File Properties


    I would like to simply open a folder which contains music files MP3s and see the details of the music, such as artist and album. I currently only see details such as Date modified and Type.


    This used to change automatically, but no longer does.


    Now I know to go to properties/Customise and select Music. This however makes no difference. It may change one or two folders but then stops. there is also no memory. All folders revert to General Items after closing. I have also tried changing properties of the main music folder as well as many of the sub folders, remembering to check the Apply to all box, but to no avail.


    Music is the foremost thing I use my PC for, so clearly it is infuriating that I cannot see the information that I require. Someone please help.

    :)

  3. MP3 file property details

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand your concern, as you are looking for an option to edit the Metadata of the mp3 files. In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

    • What is the Windows 10 version and Build installed? (Type
      winver in Windows search/Run command)
    • Were you able to make the changes in metadata with other details?
    Please provide a screenshot, when you are trying to edit the metadata.
    Please follow the steps mentioned in the
    screenshot
    posted by Shawn ‘Cmdr’ Keene on Oct 2, 2015 to post the screenshots.) Do not share any personal information in the screenshots.



    Meanwhile, we would suggest you to perform these steps and check.

    1. Press Windows + E to open File Explorer.
    2. Browse the location of the songs you want to edit.
    3. Right-click a song, and select
      Properties. Click the Details tab.
    4. Everything you see in the "Details" tab is part of the metadata information, and you can quickly edit most of it by clicking the value field next to the property. Some of the information that you can update
      includes song title (not the file name), album name, artist, genre, publisher, mood, and much more.
    5. After updating the metadata information, click the
      Apply button.
    6. Click the Ok button.


    However, you can also check in Microsoft Store, Apps for MP3 metadata editors and use the one that is suitable for you.



    Regards,
