If you’ve downgraded to Windows 7 after fighting with Windows 10 for too long or simply refuse to upgrade – you may have noticed that Windows Explorer is not able to see the your FLAC music tags in Windows Explorer. It’s a simple oversight by Microsoft that has never been patched.
Flac Tags missing?
However, there’s a very easy fix using a Windows 7 FLAC Tag Addon that will make FLAC tags display as simply as MP3s do.
Basically, if you’re a neat freak like myself and like to have all the info for your FLAC music shown clearly in the Windows Explorer columns, you’ll need this little addon.
You need a Windows Explorer extension in order to parse FLAC metadata like Audioshell.
Install it, and during the installation, make sure to check the box for FLAC and restart your computer.
