You need the X64 and X86 codecs installed for explorer to read the ID tags, Since microsoft has rebuilt XP with x64 support you might have trouble..There is a beta Klite codec pack for 64x containing only specific 64x codecs. I have had problems with codecs on x64. The codec pack can be found here htp://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/KLite_Codec_Pack_64bit_Addon/1094057842/5 Hope it helps
