Not able to edit metadata on some music files
1 hour ago, Iceni said:I'm organising my music collection. Trying to get Groove Music to list things by album. Which it wants to separate by "album artist". As well as add information so I don't have everything listed under "unknown album". My solution was to edit the metadata in file explorer (groove music doesn't let you batch edit). This worked great except for a few tracks which can't be edited. These tracks seem to be random. For example two albums have one track that can't be edited but the rest of them worked fine. Then there is a whole album which I couldn't edit. I'm using windows 10 and most - if not all - the problem files are .flac. The problem album was originaly .wav but I converted it to .flac because I read .wav has more limited metadata. Any advice would be appreciated.
In the end I downloaded a third party metadata editor called MusicBrainz Picard. Which solved the problem. Why this worked but Groove Music and File Explorer didn't I have no idea.
