Flac files incorrectly displayed as mp3 file type in explorer
OK. Having kind of a bad PC day today. I've been using a flac codec from xiph.org (has a tiny fish head icon). Tried the Winamp media player yesterday and it just wasn't for me. Long story short. Uninstalled Winamp and did a ccleaner registry cleanup. (Probably cleaned too much.) My flac files in explorer now have an mp3 logo and under the 'type' column it shows, "Mp3 Format Sound" I uninstalled, reinstalled the xiph codec and it still shows the mp3 logo and description. Funny thing is they play just fine with the xiph codec installed. Without it, no playback is possible so I know that they're still flac not mp3. These flac files were never converted but now they're labeled/displayed incorrectly as mp3 format and the tiny little xiph fish head logo is no longer there. I've tried a system restore but it didn't work. Ideas? Suggestions? Much obliged and greatly appreciated! Thanks again! Todd
