If I put an audio CD in my drive, the title shows as "Audio CD" and the

this way in older versions of Windows, but I may be wrong.
When I play the CD in WMP, the title and track names show so I can see
which song I want to play. Is there any way to have these same names
show in File Explorer?

TIA!

It took me forever to get set up for this.

My Win10 drive for this machine decided to do an
"inaccessible boot volume" thing. And StartOverride
wasn't working. Grrr.

The first thing to notice, when doing "Properties" on a
WMA, is it does have space to hold metadata. That's the
first barrier. For example, maybe a .wav file is too old
of a format to hold metadata up near the head of the
file. More modern formats use packetization, and metadata
is simply a packet with a 4CC code that the player
"cannot play". And that way, you can add foreign information
(sort of out-of-band information) to the file.

So at least .wma seems to have some means to hold such info.

There was a web page which shows the "Edit Info" item in
Groove, being used to back-annotate, and then the File Explorer,
at least I got a "title" for my tracks.

I just worked on it long enough to get a picture, and
I'll leave the rest to you.
