I just re-installed a version of windows xp pro that my uncle made using a streamline program so that it didnt come with the usual rubbish.
The thing is, i had my music on a slave drive & they were all tagged.
Now in Windows Explorer it only shows the name of the song & no artist/album info.
I tried changing the tags using Jet Audio, but when i click edit tag, the info is still there but doesnt show up in Windows Explorer.
I tried playing some songs on WMP 11 but theres still no tags.
Anyone know whats went wrong & how i can get the tags to show up in Explorer ?
This type of information in generally stored in an .ini file. my gues would be the Thumbs.ini file but it depends what program you editied the tags with. I dot have jet audio so i cant test it. you should try and find / recover these files to thier directory.
Sorry to not be much help but im not very familiar with that software
The tags were edited within Windows ages ago but with this version of Windows they dont show up.
I only tried editing the tags with Jet Audio because they werent showing up, but as soon as i right click an mp3 file & select Jet Audio, then Edit Tag, its already tagged, just not showing up on Windows.
Ive tried googling this for ages with no success.
I tried a different version of Windows & they all showed up, but id rather keep this slimline version as it has SP3 & only takes about 10 minutes to install.
So it looks like the tags just are not set to show the instructions i gave you above were for vista below are the instructions for xp but i got them of a french version of xp so the translation might not be correct.
open windows explorer click view tab then show details (or something along those lines) in here ensure that the check boxes for the fields you want displayed are ticked like artist title and so on.
