Tags are v2.3 - so that's not the issue.
Chkdsk - normal FS fixes, nothing critical there.
Let's try this.... pick a small mp3 that you cannot modify in WinExplorer, put it in a compressed folder (.zip) and attach it to a post. I'll see if I can edit the meta data for that file on my machine. Since I don't have WMP, the only thing that will tell me is if the file itself is good or bad with regards to ID3 (I'm sure the mp3 plays or you would have posted something completely different
I still suspect WMP. It's been so long since I had WMP on my system, I'll need your help on the next test.
Change WMP to exclude a folder when searching for music - this could be a new folder just for this test. In other words, I don't want files in the test folder to be added to the WMP library. There might be two settings that affect this, I just can't recall.
Then copy a few mp3 files to the new test folder
Can you edit the meta data in WinExplorer? I don't expect so, but now is a good time to ask.
Add the test folder to Windows Music Library
Select / higlight the test folder and either
click Include in Libraryon the Action bar
--OR--
Right clcik on the folder and select Include in Library from the contect menu
You want to include the folder in the Music Library.
Navigate to the Windows Music Library and see what is presented and if you can modify the meta data there.
Thanks, it's really a big help when members feed back the results - you're doing great!
