Hi Mike,

it appears it is not to the metadata as I just tried a file without metadata and WMP can't open it.

I suspect Audacity is exporting the file slightly differently than it read it and that change is significant.

You didn't say which player was having difficulty, is it Windows Media Player (WMP)?

Audacity does read and play it OK.  And the metadata looks OK.
I changed the year to just 2016 and Windows 7/10 now recognizes it, plays it, and shows detail info. Though not the Comments and Software fields....are those custom tags?
Perhaps need to put the datetime in another field.

    Hi Mike,

    ouch, I sort of expected something like this as Windows is
    appalling on
    WAV file metadata which is a PITA considering WAV is a Microsoft
    format :(

    Are you saying Windows File Explorer is seeing the files
    differently or
    are you saying that a media player is not recognizing them. If the
    latter which media player?

    Can you check if Audacity can still recognize them and play them.
