Mp3 Files Details Problem

Hi all,
I have a problem in my computer. The problem is I cannot change any details of all mp3 files such as the name of artist, album, genre and the title on the mp3 file itself. I mean when I right click on a mp3 file and go properties-->details, I cannot change anything here. When I open that file via Tag&Rename, I can see all details of that mp3 file. But on windows I cannot. One week ago there was no proplem. I used CCleaner to clean my registry and afterwards some problems arised. I hope someone can solve this problem.

Hasan

You dont need to repost. Its Auto Generated Info in Windows Media Center. Like Track ID, it names music automaticly to try to make it easier for you.

I don't think your post answers my question. Or I cannot understand what you mean.

The computer is supposed to rename the music itself. Its a feature.

Why is it bad? It names everything for you, it means no work for you. I think you could probebly disable it if you fiddled with the settings, and np happy to help

It is bad because I tagged about 120GB of mp3 file with Tag&Rename. But I cannot see any of these tags. Also, I cannot edit any details of the mp3 files. Details are just grayyed. And there is no information like title, year... about the mp3 files.

That's maybe because Tag&Rename doesn't fully adhere to the ID3v2 standard. It's possible that it also is using ID3v2.4, which is known to be prone to errors because of the poor implementations of the standard.

You best bet would be to use a program that makes use of ID3v2.3, which is fully supported by Vista.

If you don't mind using undocumented (no help files) software, I could post a link to my own "MP3 Media Properties Explorer" that I created to overcome just this particular type of problem because I never did find an MP3 tagging software tat worked the way I wanted.

Let me know, and I'll see about uploading it to my site, and I'll post a link...

EDIT:
Try telling Tag&Rename to use the ID3v2.3 standard instead. You may have more success that way.

I tried to tell Tag&Rename to use the ID3v2.3 standard but there is not any option like this. Options are like in the attachment. If you can post your software, I will appreciate.

You can get MP3 Media Properties Explorer here - Peter Alexander Dzomlija - Downloads

I'll make a deal with you, assuming of course that you like my program. If you can assist with the creation of the help file, I'll give you a registration code.
