Here on my Win7 box, TC's lister plays MP3s with ID3v2.4 tags only without any problems. No lister plug-in involved in the playback. (I am running TC 9.51 x64)
Make sure you are using the current version of TC (9.51 as of writing this post).
Make sure you don't use any lister plug-in for MP3 playback, but really only use TC's built-in media playback capabilities.
If you use a lister plug-in for MP3 playback, and you want keep using this plug-in, then look in the "Plugins and addons: devel.+support" forum section, if there is already a discussion/thread about this plug-in. See, if your problem has already been discussed and solved in this thread. If not, ask about your plug-in problem in that thread or create a new thread in the "Plugins and addons: devel.+support" forum section.
If you have double-checked that your problem is not related to any possibly installed lister plug-in [***], tell us which TC version and bitness and which OS version you are using.
[***] To check whether the problem is related to a lister plug-in or not, start TC with the commandline parameter /i, like:
Code: Select all
<PathToTotalCommanderExe> "/I=%TEMP%\test.ini"
This will create a new TC ini file in %TEMP% with default settings, and thus start a TC instance with default settings and without plug-ins being used. (Don't worry, your normal TC configuration and ini file(s) will not be lost nor altered). Try to playback your MP3 then with F3/lister. (To go back to your normal TC, close this TC instance and start TC as usual without the /I parameter.)
