How to find metadata is available from file-properties

[Traceyad2032]

How can I find the table that shows association of the number to file-properties?
For example: $Duration = $Folder.GetDetailsOf($File, 27)
The duration is #27 in the $File (file-properties).

What key terms or words that I should use in a search?

I have some audio-files that the file name to identify the purpose of the audio-file.
I have other audio-files that use the Track# as the file-name and have put the identity in the file-properties: properties> details> description:
 Title, Subtitle, Comments, etc.

And is the similar information available for the directories?

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks, Tracey

It’s hard to find that information. I found a list for Windows 7 through this StackOverflow post listing the properties in Windows 11. There are some variations between OS versions.

If you want to get a list of properties and their corresponding number, you can use this snippet

$Directory = 'D:\Users\Public\Public.Language\Pronounce it Perfectly in Spanish 2e\Pronounce it Perfectly in Spanish 2e.Down.Load'
$Shell = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application
$Folder = $Shell.Namespace($Directory)

1..512 | ForEach-Object {
    $prop = $Folder.GetDetailsOf($null, $_)
                
    if($prop){
        [PSCustomObject] @{
            Number   = $_
            Property = $prop
        }
    }
}

You should see a long list like this

Number Property                   
------ --------                   
     1 Size                       
     2 Item type                  
     3 Date modified              
     4 Date created               
     5 Date accessed              
     6 Attributes                 
     7 Offline status

     9 Perceived type

    20 Authors                    
    21 Title                      
    22 Subject                    
    23 Categories                 
    24 Comments                   
    25 Copyright                  
    26 #                          
    27 Length     
    # truncated

You can also use this technique to extract all the available properties/values on a given file. This snippet will pull a sample wav, mp3, and wma file… assuming one exists somewhere within this directory.

$MediaFiles = '*.mp3', '*.wav', '*.wma'
$Directory = 'D:\Users\Public\Public.Language\Pronounce it Perfectly in Spanish 2e\Pronounce it Perfectly in Spanish 2e.Down.Load'

$Shell = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application

foreach($type in $MediaFiles){
    $sample = Get-ChildItem -Path $Directory -Recurse -Include $type | Select-Object -First 1
    
    if($sample){
        $sample | ForEach-Object {
            $Folder = $Shell.Namespace($_.DirectoryName)
            $File = $Folder.ParseName($_.Name)

            1..512 | ForEach-Object {
                $value = $Folder.GetDetailsOf($file, $_)
                
                if($value){
                    [PSCustomObject] @{
                        File     = $sample.FullName
                        Number   = $_
                        Property = $Folder.GetDetailsOf($null, $_)
                        Value    = $value
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
