Anyone else have any problems with Windows 7 RC messing upp their metadata?

If I look at a mp3 file in the explorer I can see some things like album an such missing on some of them trying to fill this information in gives a 0x8007000D error saying The data is invalid... Neither WMP or iTunes see the metadata, WMP recognize the file and i can edit the values but they will soon jump back to their old empty ones but iTunes wont even accept the files in to it's library...

Thing is these same mp3 files, originally copied from my stationary computer which is having this problem is also on my laptop running vista home premium where they work perfectly, copying them back to the stationery wont solve the problem the same values end up empty again... what's going on? Quite afraid this will start happening on the laptop too once i get Windows 7 on it :s

Anyone know whats going on and how I can solve it?

That bug was fixed by Microsoft long back, and it was sent via Windows update to the machine it is installed :-)

That bug is not there in the RTM (or the release) version of Windows 7, so you can safely get windows 7 for your laptop :)

I solved it, so I am posting in case anyone else get's the same problem...

Of some reason Windows 7 (and wmp12) do not like ID3 tags of the version 2.4 so just get some mp3 tag software like ID3-TagIt and change the version to 2.3...

Now, why Vista and wmp11 supports 2.4 is strange... not to speak of the fact that the same album could have mixed tags, wmp11 is what ripped them all to begin with

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.
