Windows 10: MP3/FLAC Tags Not Displayed Entirely

Hi everyone.


So my computer spent some time in NY being repaired at the Asus Repair Center (or whatever they call it) before coming back here in Canada. When it came back, the main issue was resolved, but I noticed a new minor issue. Past a variable amount of characters, my MP3 and FLAC tags won't display properly, whether I use File Explorer or a media player (foobar2000 in my case). It also has trouble dealing with special characters, like letters with macrons.

To be clear, only the display seems affected. When dragging the files in a media player, the titles will appear in their entirety. However, if I modify the tags in File Explorer, and then drag the files back in the media player, the characters past the first couple ones will be lost. Both the internal drive and external ones exhibit the same issue. I have activated the LongPathsEnabled in the registry.

I am providing a screenshot below to help visualize the problem.


Regards,

some FLAC Tags in Explorer not visible

FLAC files use Ogg Vorbis tags NOT id3 like mp3.

Tags in FLAC and OGG are stored in VORBIS comments which are different than MP3's storing in ID3 tags. FLAC can store tag information in both VORBIS and ID3 tags, but the FLAC standard only guarantees information in VORBIS. The issue people are having
is Windows cannot view the tags with Explorer, and possibly Windows Media Player, without additional software but playback of FLAC is possible.

I gave up trying to troubleshoot this problem a while ago and moved music playback over to a guaranteed FLAC media player like "MediaMonkey." It easily reads the tags and can do most of what WMP can, it just doesn't look as pretty.

Several parties need to fix the FLAC tag issues together.

I used WMP+Plug-in to play FLAC for years, FB2000 for convert file and Mp3tage for most tag content editing. I tried various ways to let Win10 WMP display FLAC tag information normally as before. Although it is not perfect, it
really has some improvements. If your original FLAC tag no show, Here are some tips.



(In my case, I use Mp3tage & FB2000, you might like use other tools)

• Check if any 'Artist' length longer than 31 characters? If yes, add a short 'Album Artist' (less than 31 length) to the Album. Save the tag and you will see the 'Track#' & 'Title' showed.
• At explorer check if all files Album image there? If not, load the album with FB2000, select all files and force all tags re-Save again. (Use all properties, delete
  'Album Artist', YES to save and re-add 'Album Artist' than save again). You can see the Album image now. (I tried Mp3stag to save the album tag, but image no show)
• WMP FLAC 'date' no show issue. Actually WMP display 'date' by takes <YEAR> metadata. But most tag editor tools support <DATE> only, so we need use WMP or Explorer to edit 'YEAR' to show. I don't know WMP or Tools which one is
  right? and who should fix the issue?
• 'Artist' no show issue similar to 'date', you can only use WMP to edit it. Once you get the 'Artist' showed at WMP (Explore still no), you cannot use other tools to modify it, otherwise the
  'Artist' will be overridden.

It seems FLAC tag has different versions or someone didn't follow the rules. I have no idea who response for what issues? only wish solve it ASAP.



Hope it help！
