Dale,
I opened one of the files using the tool you suggested. I found that there
was an ID3v1.1 tag and an ID3v2.3 tag. Using the tool, I deleted both tags.
I still get the same result when I hover on the file. I opened the file up
in WMP10 and there is no data found when I use the Advanced Tag Editor. I
added some data. WMP now sees the data, but your tool does not. My regular
tag editor, MediaTagger, now shows the file as having no tag info period. I
looked at some of my other files and the tag info is still present.
The v1.1 tag had all of the correct pieces as listed at www.id3.com, but the
track and genre were in reverse order.
The v2.3 tag had a bunch of headers, most notably four PRIV headers which I
presumed were for WMP.
Any other suggestions as this problem first occurred within the last couple
of weeks.

Try opening your media files in ID3 Raw Tag Viewer from.

That may give you some clues as to what is wrong.
Then consider ID3 Tag Backup from

MetadataBackup at

Hope this helps,

There is no Customize tab. I did, however, check that the mp3 extension was
set to WMP. The OS already knows it is a media file because it gives the
length of the recording. It is the other stuff like Artist and Album that do
not show up.

Try going to the menu and selecting Tools->FolderOptions. In the Folder
Options, go to the Customize tab. In the Customize tab, make sure your media
folders are set to display media information. See if that helps.

Something changed -- I don't know what. I was able to hover over an mp3 file
and XP would provide metadata such as artist and album. I added three mp3
files last night and I cannot see the metadata. I started checking around
and I can no longer see metadata for any of my mp3 files. I first noticed
the problem in WMP 10 so I started checking from the OS level. I tried to
recreate the entire WMP DB and now all i have is song titles.
I checked on my XP Home system and i am able to see the tags just fine. I
installed a metadata editor on my XP Pro box and the metadata is there.
Is there some sort of switch so that XP and WMP 10 will recognize the tags?
Thanks
