Evaluation and conclusion

It worked smoothly in our evaluation, without hanging, crashing or displaying error dialogs. As we expected, it didn't put a strain on the computer's performance, since it needed a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly.On the other hand, we expected to view more details about WAV audio tracks. However, we must also keep in mind that the product hasn't received updates for a long time. Otherwise, WAV Properties Extension offers a simple solution for reading Wave audio information from a file's "Properties" dialog in Windows Explorer. It's free for non-commercial use.
