I used to be able to display "artist", "album", and "track"...for my music files in Windows Explorer.  Somehow they are gone.  I right clicked the column bar but it showed only "size", "type", "date modified"...  The audio fields are not there any more.  How can I get them back?

Just right click on your music file, select Properties-> Go to Summary Tab-> Then enter whatever information you want to see-> Like Album, Artist, etc.\n\nNext time, they will be seen just below the music file name.

Depending on your version of Windows and Internet Explorer, some file types won't display properly (some file name extensions, also).  You can download and install http://www.irfanview.com/ for viewing them.  Another, more powerful program is http://www.gimp.org .

You should use respective library file (.dll) file. You can use it in your visual program to play your music file.

How would it be able to re-arrange the tags?\nComputers don't know the difference between an artist and a track name, unless you tell them.\n\nThe easiest way to do edit tags in bulk, i've found, is in Windows media player. Highlight all that share the same tag, right click in that tag and there's a 'change all' or similar option.

media player files are usually stored to your documets folder inside the music folder located there. if unsure run a search all files and folders on the name of 1 song you know is in media player. you will like 11 it is much nicer and very sleek looking.

It sounds like you're not saving an MP3 file at all, you're saving a Winamp Playlist (M3U) file. If you're saving this from a website then you are merely saving a reference to the music on a streaming server.\n\nTry opening up the file by dragging it to Notepad. You will probably see that it looks something like this:\n\n#EXTM3U\n#EXTINF:77,Boards of Canada - Wildlife Analysis\nhttp://somemusicserver.com/music/Music Has The Right To Children&#92;./01 Wildlife Analysis.mp3\n#EXTINF:382,Boards of Canada - An Eagle in Your Mind\nhttp://somemusicserver.com/music/Music Has The Right To Children&#92;./02 An Eagle in Your Mind.mp3\n#EXTINF:105,Boards of Canada - The Color of the Fire\nhttp://somemusicserver.com/music/Music Has The Right To Children&#92;./03 The Color of the Fire.mp3\n\nIn this case, you have no access to the music that is referenced. If there are no 'http' references in the file then the music is stored locally somewhere on your hard drive.\n\nIf the file takes a long time to load in Notepad and looks like gobbledygook then you can simply change the extension to MP3 and it should play just fine.

There is a program called FRUITYLOOPS that you can use to create tracks of music, wave & audio file samples.  Find the latest version of it or at least V5.1 and better.  It may take a few attempts to make something but it really is an amazing product.

to check...open limwire, go to the top tab tools>options>shared\nand it will tell you where all your music is going.  If there's a way to download directly into your media player, I'd love to know.   Most people have to "add" the song to their media player.

MP3 files and many other formats where designed not only to store the audio information, but a lot of other things.\n\nThink that MP3 as a box for many things, for short the information about what it contains (ID3 tags) and the audio information. If you can see inside the file will look something like:\n\nBEGIN_OF_CONTENT\n   ID3_TAG_V1.0\n      Artist: Anyone\n      Song: Whatever\n   END_OF_ID3_TAG_V1.0\n   ID3_TAG_V2.0\n      Artist: Anyone\n      Song: Whatever\n      More stuff: Here I am.\n   END_OF_ID3_TAG_V2.0\n   BEGIN_OF_AUDIO_CONTENT\n      Here comes the song\n   END_OF_AUDIO_CONTENT\nEND_OF_CONTENT\n\nAs you can see the file could even has more than 1 TAG, the ID3 is just one of many and it (by now) has two version (V1 and V2).\n\nHope this helps you.

If you mean you've uninstalled it or lost the program check:\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/default.mspx\n\nThen search for your songs

Have you tried dragging and dropping one track to see if it plays?\nAlso, it should support WAV. Most of them do. If you can convert your tracks to WAV using Audacity it might play those.\nhttp://audacity.sourceforge.net/ -Audacity music tool.\nAudacity is free. Open your track, click File - Export as WAV, and save it.

I don't think you can do it. Windows stores the association of file types (based on extensions) with applications. If your file is sometime audio and sometime video, Windows will probably not understand it and hence can not differentiate.

All office files have this feature, Right click on any Office file (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc) and select properties, You will see Custom and summery, in these two tabs you can type any thing you want, and in Explorer these info will be shown in the ToolTip and in the status bar.\n\nFor all other kinds of files, i belive this will be easy in the new Windows VISTA.

Typically, I use dbPoweramp Music Converter, its free, and when you rip, you can rip each albumn into a seperate format.  http://www.dbpoweramp.com/  Right click on the options, and under file creation you tell it  {Artist} - {album}&#92;{Artist}-{track} which means it will create a directory named ARTIST-ALBUMN and inside it will put the Artist Name and Track.  \n\nIn windows media player if it recognizes the songs as a seperate directory.  If it doesn't recognize them, then you will have to manually enter the information.  Also by default, it records them to Microsoft's Format WMA\n\nIn iTunes, you have to change the default format as well, but otherwise it operates much the same as Windows Media Player.\n\nThe Yahoo Launch Cast Music Engine is another option, it is more like the PowerAMP converter and is pretty easy to use.

go to "C:&#92;Program files&#92;Yahoo!&#92;Yahoo! Music Engine"\nthere is an "uninstall.exe" file in that folder.  I just found it myself.  It is quite annoying.
