    Windows Explorer displays Wav metadata with wrong encoding


    Hi,


    I have a wav file with metadata of Japanese characters encoded in UTF8. However, Windows Explorer doesn't display it correctly


    Windows Explorer displays Wav metadata with wrong encoding f38948ff-ff45-452a-afc1-d209497db800?upload=true.png

    But in other Tag editors (e.g. Switch by NCH), it can be displayed properly

    Windows Explorer displays Wav metadata with wrong encoding 0e8d9e42-5e2b-487e-ae71-cd6ed0e21077?upload=true.png


    My wav file has a CSET chunk (a standard in RIFF specs) which indicates the encoding needed for the metadata but apparently Windows Explorer doesn't read it. Can anyone suggest how can I adjust my file for Windows Explorer to read it properly?


    Thanks

    :)

    Wav files not showing metadata in windows explorer

    Hi オルソン

    I am sorry, Windows does not support tags on Wav files by default, while there are utilities that can add metadata to wav files, File Explorer will not display those . . .

    Can't see music metadata in Windows Explorer

    I can't see the music metadata on Windows Explorer. I was trying to solve the problem using intructions from here. It doesn't work.

    After installing Windows and drivers I have instlled K-Lite Mega Codec Pack and VLC. Normally, after installing those programs and rebooting of the system metadata was appearing in Explorer. I do not know what went wrong...

    OS: Windows 10 Pro N 64 - may it be caused by the "N" version? I bought european version without WMP. WMP can be necessary to viev metadata?

    Windows Explorer Metadata Changes

    Using Windows Explorer I can make mass changes to certain but not all Metadata fields on photo files. I want to update the Copyright Metadata field and can add it to the fields Explorer displays; however, it does not show up in the right change pane. Is
    there a way of doing changes to this field for a batch of photo files other than writing a Script program?
