Software Needed


Installation

Note:

  • This guide assumes that you have already downloaded and installed Windows Media Player and WMPTSE.
  • This guide pictures are taken from WMP v9.0 but are valid for newer version.
  • In this guide, we will be adding an APEv2 tagging to our MediaLibrary .png files (why not...?).

The png format being a container format, our tag binary data will not be interpreted by the png readers, saving us the trouble.

But beware if you add tagging support for non-container file types (.txt, .bin, .dat, etc...), you'll end up with a corrupted file


Configuration

  • Launch Windows Media Player.
  • Click Add Support button, the "Add Tag support" propery page is displayed :
WMPTSE2 ET1.png
  • Choose the tag type to add in the list (here we choose APE)
WMPTSE2 ET2.png
  • Type filetype (just the extension) to add support to (here we type png)
