edit mp3 file properties Solved

Question

Hey everyone,

I have some mp3 files whose properties I can't change. I go to the summary tab, and then to advanced, and I can only change the track number and title. However, I would like to change all the fields: artist, album, year, track number, music genre... etc...

Thank you for your advice because I'm freaking out. I never have the same artist names when I listen to my music on iTunes.

See you

I've been looking for ages and I found it all by myself... like a grown-up.

On Windows 10 / 9 / 8 / 7:

go to the MP3 file and right-click
go to properties
go to Details (or Summary): position yourself on artist: click on value, modify
position yourself on title: click on value, modify
go to: apply, click
go to ok, click
and it's OK

If you don't have these options:

Simultaneously press Win+R then type
```
cmd
```
and validate with Ctrl+Shift+Enter
enter the command
```
regsvr32 shmedia.dll
```
and validate with Enter.

bye

You go to the folder where your mp3s are, right-click > properties > details.

Hm, try going directly to the properties of an mp3 file instead of the folder properties; it might work better that way.

Delete and uncheck the tag box, and save. Then reopen it, enable it, and you should be able to write whatever you want.

Hello, I have the same problem, and when I go to the advanced tab of the file properties, I can't modify the tags, nor check or uncheck them. Does anyone have another idea?

Hi, use a tag editor, you can also get the info from your mp3s on the internet... https://www.clubic.com/telecharger-fiche12753-mp3tag.html  -bye- >>>

Hello,

I encountered the same issue:
It was mainly the incorrect display of the listening list on MSN that bothered me.
For instance, the title displayed: "from internet 2"
To fix the problem without downloading utilities....
Right-click on the mp3
Properties
Details
Remove the properties and personal details
Remove the following properties from this file
and check the title.

After this basic manipulation, it’s the file name (easily renamable) that appears on MSN

Cool ;)

See you later!

I see here it's like in all forums, several clueless people are responding with nonsense.
The real answer is: download AUDIOGRAIL and you'll be able to change all the tags.

To a good listener, cheers.

I changed everything with Winamp! (because it's my software where I store my music library)

You put the file or album you want to play in Winamp,

then in the "playlist" you select all Ctrl+A

Right click, "file information"

Go to the "Standard Information" tab

and you change everything you want and all your modifications show up directly in your source file!

Moreover, I noticed that afterward you could modify in the source folder again, without having to go through Winamp

I think Winamp unlocks access...

There you go, it's as easy as pie ;)

"Right-click, 'file information'  You go to the 'Standard information' tab  Except that for the files for which I can't change the author, I also can't go to 'file information' on Winamp."

There you go! Now you can modify the attributes of the MP3 file.

greendog · Answer

Hello,

I have the same problem.

1) I had mp3 files (Properties > title: "track1", "track2", "track3"...) but the file names in Windows Explorer were correct.

2) I used mp3tag... I was able to easily change the title (track1.mp3) to file name (In my place.mp3) => displaying the correct title in mp3tag explorer.

3) However, when I check the file properties, the name remained track1.
What should I do?

crépinjojar · Answer

I have been working with WINAMP forever. You can change everything  with this software. It's a little gem that's free. So, no more hesitation.   Let’s go and happy working

I manage to write the properties, but it doesn't save! And when I confirm by "ok," they don't appear. And it turns out that when I go back to the file details of the .mp3, the fields showing the values are empty!

Mars · Answer

I hadn't seen your comment but I managed to do it! It was because of a software supposed to convert the music, but it didn't work! So I quickly uninstalled it and now it works!! ;)

ratatouille · Answer

Hello, you need to change the access permissions.
Right-click on the directory where your MP3 files are located, select properties, then the Security tab.
Click on users in the name of group or user window, click on edit, select Users again, then check the full control box and click apply.
You should be able to modify your MP3s directly from the details pane (in the explorer).

I have the same issue, but nothing works: whenever I try to delete the properties of my music files, an error message appears with the code
"0xC00D0026". Does anyone know what this is about and how to stop this problem?

BreizhSharkFR · Answer

On Windows 8:
To modify file properties, you need to disable the read-only attribute of the source folder.
For example, to modify the properties of music files:
- go to your source folder (the music folder, where all your music is stored)
- right-click on this folder --> Properties --> Read-only: {Uncheck}
And now you can make your changes.
