April 30, 200521 yr using pro sp2 with nlite "lite" optioni clean installed my OS and now when i go into "details" view and display "artist" and "title"to view my mp3s, its blank. last time, it showed the appropriate details. but now, it doesn't show anything. also, when i rite click the mp3s, it doesn't show the tags.how do i fix this?
May 1, 200521 yr If you go to properties on the media files themselves, can you get the information that you are expecting to be visible in the details view?
May 1, 200521 yr Author nope...i dontthe only way i get the info is when i play the file in foobaris there any way to fix this?
May 2, 200521 yr I can repeat that exact dialog by making a 0 byte mp3 file and doing properties on it.I can also repeat it by removing the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.mp3\shellex\PropertyHandler" key. The atached .reg file is what my PropertyHandler key looks like with WinXP Home and Media Player 10. Try importing it in to your registry.
May 2, 200521 yr I don't use FooBar, so I don't know if it would mess up anything with its installation. Backup your "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.mp3\shellex\PropertyHandler" key before trying that reg file.
May 2, 200521 yr Author nope i dont think foobar messes it up. foobar displays the tags. windows explorer doesnt. thats bad for me cus now imma have a harder time organizing my music collection
May 2, 200521 yr Could you post or attach a reg file for each of the following keys exported from your registry:HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mp3fileHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociationsHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExtsHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content TypeHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{875CB1A1-0F29-45de-A1AE-CFB4950D0B78}
May 2, 200521 yr Author yea...i cant find the last one tho. dont even know if i did this rite lolNew_WinRAR_ZIP_archive.zip
May 2, 200521 yr Could you also post a reg file for this key:HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\foobar2000.mp3> yea...i cant find the last one thoDoes "shmedia.dll" exist in your System32 directory? It is the "Media File Property Extractor Shell Extension" (You might have to show Hidden Files to see it.) If it does, try running "regsvr32 shmedia.dll" [without the quotes].
