The portable version is not related to/packaged by the VideoLAN team AFAIK. Try the file with an official build of VLC 0.9.8a:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

If that works then it is an issue with the portable version, otherwise could you post a sample file.

I`ve tried,thank you.

It looks like VLCMP does not read tag unless file was already played,althought the file is already added to the playlist.

Try 1.0.0 version of VLC.

VLC 0.9.8a should display metadata in MP3 files (ID3v1/v2 tags) when added to the playlist. Try deleting preferences and cache files (go to "Start >> Run..." and enter %appdata% and press OK. Then delete the "vlc" folder).

Then on VLC play a file, and whilst it is playing add another file to the playlist (via the Playlist dialog box's "Add file...") . The metadata should be displayed (the only thing that probably won't be is the duration).
