Windows 10: Music file properties

HI,I've been editing my music files with file explorer/groove music app on my laptop. I have transferred those songs to my phone but some songs have missing genre data, or artist name data, etc. I have never had this problem before. I tried to re-edit the files with the issue but they appear the exact same way on my phone. The music app I use on my phone is called Music. I use a Huawei phone.So the problem isn't the music files on the laptop. The problem is the same files when viewed on my phone's app.

Updating the File Properties of Ripped Cd's

I did as you suggested and nothing is different; I still can't change the file properties of my music files.

 

How do I change the default music app for music files other than Windows Media player?

Hi Mohan,

To change the default app that open your music files, we recommend the following steps:

1. Right-click the music file then go to Properties.

2. In the properties window look for and click the Change... button. This should open the list of applications installed in the computer that are able to play this type of file.

3. If the application is not on the list, click More apps. This will extend the list, if the extended list still does not show the app you're looking for; then click Look for another app on this Pc. This time you will need
to locate the application folder and manually select it from there.
