    Is there a character limit to the comment property in windows file explore?


    As the title states, I am wondering if there is a limit to the amount of information I can store in the comment property.With this I mean, if you right click a file in windows explorer, go to properties, then open the details tab, one of the editable fields is 'Comments'. I want to store some info in this field for mp3 files and for some files it might be quite some characters...Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Displaying the Comments Property for FLAC files

    Is there something special about a FLAC file that prevents Windows 10 File Explorer from displaying the contents of the Comments Property?

    I am using the Comments Property field to log the catalogue numbers of my digitised record collection. When I view MP3 files with File Explorer, it displays the contents of the comments field along with the title, artist, track no, etc. However, if I convert
    the files to FLAC format, the properties remain except for the comments that now appear blank. But, if I convert the files back to MP3 then the comments reappear. So it seems that the Comments Property data is saved but File Explorer is unable to display it.

    Do I have File Explorer installed and set up correctly?

    Is there a problem with File Explorer itself?

    Any advice gratefully received.

    File properties comments deleted


    In Windows Explorer (Windows 7) I had added comments to a number of files in the Comments Tags of properties. All these comments have disappeared in Windows 10. Other info I added in other tags has remained.
