See this forum for further discussion. I found nothing that could make explorer read the tags. Yes, there was a FLAC Property Handler for Explorer located at http://castlemadeofsand.wordpress.com, but as you can see the author has removed his blog, for no apparent reason. Luckily, the Property Handler can still be downloaded from Megaupload. | My System Specs | | |

Cheers  What I need is for *Explorer* to read and write flac tags. WMP Tag won't do it, neither will Media Foundation FLAC Codec, and the way dbPowerAmp does it, in my opinion, is no good - adding two tabs to the Explorer Properties dialog when you can do it right within the Properties>Details tab with mp3. Also, dbPowerAmp's Install program looks like it was programmed with a kit. Very amateurish.
If Microsoft could figure a way to make money off flac, I'm sure they'd implement it right away. But the Party Line is that flac is a "minority" format.
Maybe somebody out there can program a properties handler worthy of the name; I sure as hell can't and dbPowerAmp botched it. lol ya I tell you it's something else. Microsoft should just get off the pot and just do it. I agree with Lestrad I don't like dbpoweramp crappy way because I don't want to install an app just for tags to show up. I've looked and looked for a simple way to no avail, I believe there enough flac users to have it implemented myself.. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Alienware OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU I7 Motherboard GA-X58-USB3 Memory 6 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 24 GB of system Graphics Card GeForce GTX 580 Sound Card Realtek ALC892 codec 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel Monitor(s) Displays NEC Display Solutions E321 Black 32" Screen Resolution 1366 x 768 Keyboard Microsoft Mouse Microsoft PSU XFX Black Edition XPS-850W-BES 850W ATX12V Case Antec Cooling Zalman Hard Drives OCZ Colossus LT Series OCZSSD2-1CLSLT1T 3.5" 1TB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive |

Thank you for that last link.  I'm tempted to go around posting this to as many places as I can find, since it took me a good few hours to come across this site! | My System Specs | | Windows can't read FLAC tags problems? All times are GMT -5. The time now is 06:49 AM. | |
