Default Database metadata

Is there a reason why Reaper's database can only fetch metadata from wav files? WavPack and FLAC files with ID3 tags just have blank metadata fields in the Media Explorer database.

Here, the Key and BPM tag of mp3 files are shown in my Reaper Media Explorer - music database.

I am on OSX 10.12.6.

Aye--on windoze you only get 4 fields > file,size,date,type-- seems a bit daft as flac can hold quite some metadata...
It appears windoze have slightly changed the 'view,sort and group' search and arrange options also for folders etc..but even some of -these- do not show info.....

The ID3 Tags that do not get fetched from my WavPack and FLAC files are:
  • artist
  • album
  • title
  • Genre
  • Comment

They work when using plain bwf/wav. MP3 or other lossy compression formats are not an option.

Is fetching metadata officially only supported when using wav files or is this a bug?

From the v5.1 - November 15 2015 changelog:
Quote:
+ Media Explorer: support metadata in databases (ID3 tags, RIFF LIST-INFO, BWF descriptions)
No restriction on formats. However, even v5.1 cannot read ID3 tags from my files after running re-read all metadata. So it was simply overlooked?

EDIT: Bug report at https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=196145
