Yeah, I use it on linux too. I’d substitute Foobar for Strawberry player on linux for playbacl and tags editing.
Comment on What's an easy way to remove metadata from a .mp4 file? [Windows 10]
LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one 11 months agoHaven’t heard of either one of these, thanks! Musicbrainz Pickard looks pretty intuitive based on the screenshots, and I like that it’s also available for Linux. I’ll try that one first.

My two cents is that it’s a bit unintuitive, but ymmv. It’s not overly difficult though, and a great piece of software. So do try!

I just used it. It was easy enough to edit/remove metadata, which is all I want to do for now. It reminds me a bit of a Windows 95 era app, which is the time period when I became acclimated to Windows software.
Anyway, it took just a few seconds to do what I want to do. I’m still quite baffled why removing/editing metadata in a mp4 is unsupported in Windows. It seems like such a basic thing.

Glad it worked out!
Disclaimer: soapbox. I feel like Windows is commonly considered to be user friendly. It may be easy enough to use, but I find it’s quite user hostile.

I finally got around to trying it, and I’ve realized that the “open with” option is absent from the right-click menu for some reason. I’m trying to find out why, but so far no luck. I checked the registry key, and it’s intact and should be giving me the option. I hate Windows.

I totally agree with you about Windows. Even Microsoft’s forums are generally unhelpful if you don’t want to use their OS they way they think you should use it. I’m gradually switching to Linux and will not be using Windows 11. Whatever minor conveniences I may miss out on are worth moving to an OS built with users in mind and with a friendly community of people who are actually helpful.
