Windows 10: .opus audio file tags, metadata

How do I set Windows File Explorer in Windows 10 to display tags - metadata of .opus audio files?The opus could be the best free audio encoder, only struggling with compatibility issues in Windows File Explorer and Media Player.

Cannot edit any metadata in audio and video files

I'm running Windows 10, fully updated. All of a sudden and for no apparent reason, I'm unable to update any metadata/tags for audio and video files. Haven't tried to update metadata for other types of files.

It's very important to me to be able to edit the metadata/tags on audio files so that my 14,000+ audio files organize correctly for playlists, etc., and I like proper metadata on video files as good practice.

Audio files are largely .mp3, and video files are either .mp4 or .wmv.

I have tried Properties > Details on individual files in File Explorer and several tag/metadata editors that have worked great for years. Some tag editors will show the metadata/tags it allegedly saved, but when I go back to File Explorer
they're not there. I have also ensured that the same metadata/tag categories I edited in tag editors display in File Explorer.

I've also tried some suggestions from forums:

• Making sure proper permissions are granted
• Ensuring I'm signed in to Microsoft
• Copying a file and trying to edit the copy's metadata/tags
• Copying the files to new and existing other folders and trying to edit
• Ensuring the files are not read-only

Any ideas on what could have made the metadata/tags uneditable all of a sudden, and more importantly how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

 

Edit metadata autocomplete list for pictures/music files

It seems like the list is generated from existing tags or other metadata. So, if you're getting 'junk' suggestions, it's likely that some other file has that 'junk' data. So you need to locate those files with bad metadata & delete/edit it to 'good' information.

Where is the tag database located?

That would have been my first thought. However, as in the photos, none of the indicated "autocompleted" tag suggestions exist in any of my files.

(I regularly use Photo Gallery to clean up unused tags, but everything I've ever used, even the typos are still being suggested in File Explorer.)

But they still get suggested every time I make a partial type.

Hi!

I'm not looking to erase metadata from any of my files.

I am looking to clean up the "autocomplete" suggestions being given by File Explorer when I type in the "Details Panel".

The tags do not exist in any of my files anymore.

For example:

"Angel Dust [band]" is still being suggested even though I universally changed it to "Angel Dust" using Photo Gallery.
