Windows 8 Explorer FLAC Support?

Currently sorting a load of FLAC music, but noticed Windows 7 doesnt allow me to show technical data in the folder columns like it does for MP3, i.e. length, bitrate etc. Just size.

Does Windows 8 show this type of information in folder view?

Nope, nothing.

Directory Opus does, on the off chance its something you've considered before.

Thank you, not to worry. Directory Opus is an interesting little option, I'll check that out thanks

The last I knew there was a fully functioning 3 month trial or something silly like that, so even if it's just to use it for this one purpose you should give it a go.

It's never been cheap if you want to continue using it, but I bet you'll do it once you've used it for a while. I didn't even let the trial expire and bought a copy for work too.

If you install this Windows 8 will show the technical data in the folder columns.

Windows 7 FLAC Property Handler for 32 and 64 bit (it works on Windows 8)
