Hello to all!
I just discover the issue in the thread's title. The missing info are valid for all mp3s I have stored since years!
I had disable all media center scheduled task, I tried to enable all back, reboot but nothing change so, that's was not the cause.
Recently I didn't modify any windows service, so at this point I'm completely stuck!

Any ideas?

Tks in Advance!!

Maybe the issue is within the .mp3 extension registration in the Registry or in the Explorer view, see:

It could be also an issue with file association, so you may want to restore the default settings for the specific filetype:

Many tks jaclaz for your reply

 

I checked your first link, everythink is fine except the folder SystemFileAssociations mentioned: it's missing at all. I have a folder named ".mp3" but it's directly in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder (see the attachement)

Anyway from that article seems everything is needed to aneable more infos in the hoover behaviour

 

For the second link instead, the only action the reg file had on my system is to associate back the mp3 files to WMP and not to WinAmp anymore. The columns Bitrate and Lenght in Explorer are still empty for any kind of mp3s...

 

Tks anyway for your time, really appreciated

Have you checked this :unsure::

Once you have the folder view set, right click anywhere on the top column list and you will be presented with all of the options for new columns that can be added to the view of this folder. If this is your dedicated music folder, one of these options will be bitrate. If it is not then you can click on More and find the bit rate option there.

AFAIK you should have as in the given link the subkeys related to the Perceived Type, see also:

Hello jaclaz, tks for your reply

 

Yes, the Bitrate column is set to be shown in explorer since years, it's just completely blank (no infos)

 

In your first link you gave to me I found the regedit's folder previously not founded: instead to looking for it manually I just used the F3 function :whistle:

Modified the InfoTip regkey as suggested, rebooted and no fix (I attach the image of the mp3 folder, maybe you can see something wrong nor missing), if it should be not readable enough as attachment, here below the original image

About the last link you kindly provide to me, I'm not so confidential with the regedit and its command lines to understand what I have to do :blushing: sorry

 

Anyway, my suspect is there is something wrong in Explorer regkeys, about the mp3 ones I think everything is ok

 

Tks again!
