Mp3's Tag Information Is Not Showing In Windows Explorer

I noticed that some of my mp3' did not show tag information in windows explorer.

I opened them up in Mp3tag and Tag And Rename and the music details show fine.

I thought it may have had certain tag information missing but it was not the case.

It seems that the files were indeed corrupt even though I could play them.

I used a program called mp3val-frontend, downloaded from : http://mp3val.sourceforge.net/

Drag the files in question into the program, then click on action scan all.

After the scan you should see some files labelled problem

Now action repair all files

All mp3's should be repaired and when viewed in windows explorer, all information should now be seen.
