some FLAC Tags in Explorer not visible

Hi Pleg, 

Thank you for your interest in Windows 10 Technical preview.

I can understand how frustrating it can be when things don’t work as expected. I'd be glad to help you.

Please answer the following for us to assist you better:

1.     Which windows 10 build customer is using at this point of time?

2.     From which build he upgraded the system and was it working with the previous build?

3.     Was this feature working with the previous O.S ?

Please reply with the required information, I will be glad to help you further.

Hi Ruth,

thanks for your reply!

Let me answer your questions:

1. I use Windows 10 build 10162 at this point of time.

2. I upgraded from Build 10135 and no, I had the same problem with the previous build.

3. Before Windows 10 I used Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 which both do not offer native FLAC support. I used the "Windows 7 FLAC Property Handler" instead and everything worked fine; all tags were displayed in Explorer, even for the files that don't work now. Unfortunately installing the "Windows 7 FLAC Property Handler" does not show any effect on Windows 10 anymore.

Best regards,

Christian

Still doesn't work on the Windows 10 final. Some tags don't display. And still have no idea why that is. All my FLAC files are created using the same tools and procedure.

I  cannot get file explorer to show the ratings for flac files at all. mp3 files are fine!

I  can assign a rating to a flac file in the details pane (ie give it 3 yellow stars), however,after clicking save, they just disappear again?

I have tried using the Audioshell software,however,even though the rating is there in the tag editor,they aren't showing up in file explorer?

It's almost like windows 10 can't write or display the RATING WMP tag for flac files for some reason?

Even if you add the RATING WMP tag manually to a flac file,file explorer will not display it!

I have upgraded my PC from Win8.1 to Win10 by Aug 1, I uesed play FLAC by WMP with some Plug-ins without problem. 

But WIN10 I have same problems as Pelg's & Barn's have. In addition, when those plug-ins uninstalled. The FLAC files don't supported by both WMP & Groove with code 0XC00d11d2. 

I wonder if WIN10 real native support FLAC file?

Here are some screen copies to point out those problems：

WMP12 version

No support FLAC format & some tags missing

explorer miss some tags fields

Still doesn't work on the Windows 10 final. Some tags don't display. And still have no idea why that is. All my FLAC files are created using the same tools and procedure.

 I have very similar problem when I updated from W8.1. My Windows Media Player crashed when I try to edit tags.

On W8.1 I downloaded codecs and plugins for play FLAC files and edit their tags. So when I updated to Windows 10 I did't uninstall any of these. I uninstalled them once I was on Windows 10. Result: I couldn't play any FLAC files.

Solution: Go back to Windows 8.1 and before update to Windows 10 uninstall all FLAC codecs, plugins, etc.
