Track Number in Windows 10 explorer is blanked visually when playing a MP3 file
« on: June 08, 2026, 07:33:53 PM »
Typically when I screen an album of MP3 files for radio play I leave my explorer folder open and play track by track manually.

I noticed on this preview build that the associated file loses it's track number visually in Windows 10 explorer when I play the MP3 file. So much so it gets unsorted since I sort in explorer by ascending track number (Attachment 1).

If I hit F5 (refresh) it comes back BUT only if the file (track) is not playing.

Actually, all the meta data columns blank out: Title, Artist, Album, etc in Windows Explorer.

I suspect it's due to the file being "locked/in use", which keeps the meta data reading function of Explorer from working.  The same thing happens with the Mp3tag program where it shows empty fields in all the columns for a currently playing file.

Now, whether or not it should be doing this, I don't know.
