如果你是一名音乐发烧友，那么应该知道Flac这种常见的无损音乐格式。Flac音乐文件支持metadata，用户可以编辑metadata，让音乐文件带有艺术家、所属专辑、音轨等等信息。

通常来说，metadata和音频数据并不相关，修改metadata并不会影响音频本身。

但是，近日微软官方公布了Win10中存在一个Bug，在Win10中用资源管理器修改Flac文件的metadata，竟会导致音频的损坏！

根据Windows Latest的报道，微软最新发布的一份支持文件披露，如果在Win10的2004或者更高版本中，使用文件资源管理器修改Flac音乐文件的metadata，就会损耗Flac音频文件。

这个Bug在Win10专业版、家庭版、企业版、工作站版乃至其他版本的Win10中均有出现。

根据微软本月早些时候发布的支持文件，Win10的文件资源管理器导致了这个错误，它破坏了Flac文件头包含的ID3框架也就是metadata，而这个ID3框架负责存储音频的注释，例如音乐标题、艺术家、专辑、曲目编号等。

在Win10上，Flac的处理程序忽视了ID3框架，该程序认为Flac文件在使用4字节的文件头，当Flac文件被Win10编辑的时候，ID3框架被覆盖了，导致没有了开始代码，导致了音乐播放器无法识别被修改后的文件。

因此，在Win10中，如果你直接用文件资源管理器修改Flac音乐文件的标题、艺术家等metadata，会导致该文件无法播放。

幸运的是，微软已经确定了Bug的根本原因，用户可以通过Windows Update升级KB5003214补丁进行修复。

在KB5003214补丁中，微软确认了上文提到的错误已经被修复，修改了Flac的标题、艺术家等metadata后，Flac不会再变得无法播放。

而对于已经损坏了的Flac文件，微软则发布了一个PowerShell脚本来进行修复，运行该脚本后Flac文件即可重新播放，不过已经从ID3框架中丢失了的metadata信息并不能恢复。

下面是利用PowerShell脚本修复Flac文件的具体方法。

1、开启记事本；

2、复制以下字符，粘贴到记事本中：

3、保存文件，在“另存为”对话框中，将目录定位到你想要保存PowerShell脚本的位置；

4、在文件名输入框中，输入“FixFlacFiles.ps1”，将另存为文件的类型更改为Text Documents (*.txt)；

5、进入到你保存该PowerShell脚本的目录；

6、右键点击刚刚保存的脚本，然后选择“使用PowerShell运行”；

7、出现提示时，输入无法播放的Flac文件的文件名，然后按下回车键。

微软建议大家安装本月推送的可选累积更新，以避免修改Flac文件metadata出现的问题。
