I expect you already know this but the context menu item for MP3Tag 3.20 64bit does not appear in FC but does for Explorer. Thanks Marek.

OK, I've just re-registered the Mp3tagShell.dll after installing MP3Tag 3.20 and it's there now. Odd how it appeared in Explorer though.
Problem solved, thanks.

OK, closed.

BTW Why you don't use F4 or mouse shortcuts to open file(s) in Mp3Tag? I think it's easier and faster way.

How do you re-register mp3tagshell.dll? Can you please instruct me how to do it? I am having the same issue. Thanks so much!

If you look in the MP3Tag folder you'll see a file called RegisterShell.cmd. Just double-click on it.
Or open a command window and type in

Code: Select all

 regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Mp3tag\Mp3tagShell.dll"

Thanks so much for all the info!
Unfortunately, double clicking on the dll file brings up a menu that asks me which app I want to open this file with. Have no idea :)
As for the command prompt, I get this message: "The module "C:\Program Files\MP3tag\MP3tagshell.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with an error code 0x80070005"
Any suggestions? Thanks for all your trouble!
