    foobar2000 displays correctly.


    Can I fix this? or is this a bug?


    All music files are in FLAC format.

    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?

    Music Metadata grabber

    Been working on sorting movies/tv shows/music and looking for something thats free and grabs metadata for my music files. I could do it all manually, but having something that helps would be nice. Anyone got a suggestion?
