Thank you very much for a very simple but informative task. I've been looking for something like this for about 3 years because every time I would add columns for my metadata in Windows Music Player it would always revert back to the original format. I was to the point of thinking maybe if I changed each one individually they would stay. And I'm talking about close to 3000 CDs. Thank you, thank you, thank you!. Very simply explained, also. Great tutorial.
Presumably Explorer is reading only the first few frames of each MP3 and assuming the bitrate is constant throughout the file. Otherwise the calculation would need to scan the entire MP3 and be hampered by disk I/O speed. Consequently the bitrate shown probably won't be correct for variable bitrate MP3s. Also I'm not sure Microsoft ever fixed it but I recall Windows Explorer had common bug years ago that often prevented the user from deleting an .AVI file because in the background Explorer was still fetching the metadata and generating thumbnails, locking the file. A bug more noticeable on slower PCs that used hard disks.
Any way to display "ALAC" in TYPE? I see "MPEG-4 Audio File Format" on TYPE but there's various MPEG-4 types and I'd like to see ALAC (or Apple Lossless) if possible. Thanks much.
Hi, how do you customize it so that the bitrate is shown in the thumbnail of the mp3 (or other audio types, ie. flac, etc..)Mp3ext has that feature when winamp was my default player. However, when I use foobar as default player, the foobar icon takes over even after I reinstall mp3ext.
Thank you so much for this info. 👍👍 One small issue if you could clarify please: Say you set the folder view for a collection of mp3 in d:\music. Now suppose d:\music is added to the music library: Libraries\Music. If I navigate to d:\music the folder structure persists as per your video. However, if I navigate to Libraries\Music, the folder view no longer persists. Is there a workaround for that? thank you
You're welcome. In this case, the Libraries\Music folder (which becomes the parent of the D:\Music folder) needs to be customized for Music, and apply to all subfolders. That would make any mp3 or folder dragged into Libraries\Music be listed with the Music template. If you've already done this, it may be a bug in the specific Windows build you are using (I just tested it and it seems to be working on mine).
You can modify the Album column just like any other column (resizing, repositioning, etc.), then persist your changes as shown in the video. If you mean editing the actual data within the column for an individual file, you can either use right-click -> Properties, then tab to Details, or use any of the free mp3 or flac metadata editors that allow you to modify multiple files.

I'm afraid I'm not aware of how to do show that on the thumbnail, so I'll need to defer to other viewers who may have more experience. Anyone?

@@accessrandom thanks friend
can you make file explorer count the number of times a video file is opened or plated? Like in youtube with view count? Or in itunes with play count?
How about bit depth ? It shows a blank column only with no inf at all !
Sir , does it applicable for pdf folder
How do/can you edit the ALBUM column?
You can modify the Album column just like any other column (resizing, repositioning, etc.), then persist your changes as shown in the video. If you mean editing the actual data within the column for an individual file, you can either use right-click -> Properties, then tab to Details, or use any of the free mp3 or flac metadata editors that allow you to modify multiple files.
Please update this for Windows 11.
Update:
There is no much change in Windows 11. Same way. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the update and the confirmation 👍
Microsoft could really improve the UX of this.
Agreed 👍 it's not intuitive at all.
works for win11 too
