In the past I saved music on my computer in mp3 format, and I was able to edit the properties (artist, track number, album, year, etc.) of the file in the music folder. Recently, I started saving them in FLAC format, but I noticed that I cannot edit the properties like I could with mp3. Does...

Ulimately, I just want folder size to be displayed when viewing in details mode but it seems that isn't an option with windows 7 so the next best thing is when you hover the mouse curser over the file and the metadata pops up (I think it's called tooltips) with the file size in it - but this is...

i know that itunes writes any rating info to an xml file instead of writing it to the actual id3 tag. i think this is dumb and am looking for a way to write this info to my tags instead. any ideas?

I have a 2 TB hard drive with over 1000 movies, with a folder for each movie, as each movie consists of one or more files, along with a jpg file with the movie cover. Currently the title of each folder contains the movie title, the year of release, imdb rating and some other info. Now I...

Right clicking on a file icon in "my computer" and choosing "properties/details" reveals a considerable number of fields - "author", "copyright", "title" etc. These can all be edited individually, but how can I update a folder containing perhaps as many as a hundred files in one go? I would...

Is there any way to access data entered into the Summary Tag under Windows XP, (for all files... not just pictures and music) in Windows Vista or Windows 7. Windows XP allowed you to enter custom data for just about every file type. For non "media" files the flowing default attributes are...

I really liked the Photo Gallery that came with Vista. Now that I'm on Windows 7, I see that that sidebar - where date taken, geo tags, and tags are displayed - is no longer available. Is there any way to get this sidebar in Windows Photo Viewer that came with Windows 7, or Windows Live...

Hi all, I have spent hours at this, and can't figure it out. On my Windows Vista 32bit system, I have Itunes installed and when I edit the name of a song, it changes it in Explorer and in the Metadata, I've checked using MP3 rename software. Now I have a laptop Windows 7 64bit, installed...

I am trying to create a Device Stage for my cell phone that is not supported. I only want basic features but would love free space and battery information if possible. I have followed tutorials and everything I can find from Microsoft as well as an old tutorial I found online but I am unable to...

So I was going to change one of my songs ID3 tags the other day and I realized that not only do the ID3 tags not display in window's explorer, but they also don't show up in the details tab under properties. Also they are unchangeable via the properties details tab. I did a little looking on...

So I've been having some major issues with Windows Media Player. I wouldn't really mind, because the general library function works perfectly otherwise and it's perfect with foobar2000, but Windows 7 has a very nice integration with the Sonos music system (UPnP) which allows streaming over the...

First- Thank you in advance for any input you have, and sorry if this seems like a re-post, but I can't seem to find anyone who is having quite the same problem or a solution that seems to work. Basically it is denying me access to brand new files. EX I shot some texture photos today, applied...

win7 beta (64 bit) (Itunes 8.0.2.20) everything works just fine except that i cant seem (through itunes or any application) to edit the meta data of the audio files. I assume this is an access/permissions issue of some sort. my hardware config worked just fine under XP. i have a hard drive...
