    FLAC metadata support

    What is the metadata support like in Windows 10 for FLAC metadata? At the moment an edited subtitle tag for a FLAC file, which was done in WMP, does not show up when the file is synced over OneDrive to another device. Is the full range of the WMP tags going
    to be available for Windows?

    On a side note, is metadata like subtitles be available in the Groove Music app?

    Window 10 File Explorer cannot properly display the metadata for FLAC files

    Window 10 File Explorer seems not able to display the metadata (e.g., Title, Contributing Artist, Album Artist, Album, etc.) of some FLAC files, the contents get truncated, blanked out, or replaced with other funny character. I can see the problematic metadata
    are populated with the correct details in my other audio playing application. This problem seems to be limited to the FLAC files only, and only happen recently in Window 10 File Explorer.

    Below are my current Windows specifications:

    Edition - Window 10 Home

    Version – 1809

    OS build - 17763.503

    Does anyone know how to fix the issue?

    Metadata not showing and cannot be edited in Explorer

    I have exactly the same problem. I can add/update metadata in file explorer in Word 2016 files, but not Excel 2016 files. Excel 97-2003 files I can add/update metadata in file explorer. In Excel 2016 itself, I can add/update metadata, but it doesn't show
    in file explorer.
