如果你是一名音樂發燒友，那么應該知道Flac這種常見的無損音樂格式。Flac音樂文件支持metadata，用戶可以編輯metadata，讓音樂文件帶有藝術家、所屬專輯、音軌等等信息。

通常來說，metadata和音頻數據并不相關，修改metadata并不會影響音頻本身。

但是，近日微軟官方公布了Win10中存在一個Bug，在Win10中用資源管理器修改Flac文件的metadata，竟會導致音頻的損壞!

根據Windows Latest的報道，微軟最新發布的一份支持文件披露，如果在Win10的2004或者更高版本中，使用文件資源管理器修改Flac音樂文件的metadata，就會損耗Flac音頻文件。

這個Bug在Win10專業版、家庭版、企業版、工作站版乃至其他版本的Win10中均有出現。

根據微軟本月早些時候發布的支持文件，Win10的文件資源管理器導致了這個錯誤，它破壞了Flac文件頭包含的ID3框架也就是metadata，而這個ID3框架負責存儲音頻的注釋，例如音樂標題、藝術家、專輯、曲目編號等。

在Win10上，Flac的處理程序忽視了ID3框架，該程序認為Flac文件在使用4字節的文件頭，當Flac文件被Win10編輯的時候，ID3框架被覆蓋了，導致沒有了開始代碼，導致了音樂播放器無法識別被修改后的文件。

因此，在Win10中，如果你直接用文件資源管理器修改Flac音樂文件的標題、藝術家等metadata，會導致該文件無法播放。

幸運的是，微軟已經確定了Bug的根本原因，用戶可以通過Windows Update升級KB5003214補丁進行修復。

在KB5003214補丁中，微軟確認了上文提到的錯誤已經被修復，修改了Flac的標題、藝術家等metadata后，Flac不會再變得無法播放。

而對于已經損壞了的Flac文件，微軟則發布了一個PowerShell腳本來進行修復，運行該腳本后Flac文件即可重新播放，不過已經從ID3框架中丟失了的metadata信息并不能恢復。

下面是利用PowerShell腳本修復Flac文件的具體方法。

3、保存文件，在“另存為”對話框中，將目錄定位到你想要保存PowerShell腳本的位置;

4、在文件名輸入框中，輸入“FixFlacFiles.ps1”，將另存為文件的類型更改為Text Documents (*.txt);

5、進入到你保存該PowerShell腳本的目錄;

6、右鍵點擊剛剛保存的腳本，然后選擇“使用PowerShell運行”;

7、出現提示時，輸入無法播放的Flac文件的文件名，然后按下回車鍵。

微軟建議大家安裝本月推送的可選累積更新，以避免修改Flac文件metadata出現的問題。
