v2.9 [Jan 12, 2017]
Fixed: in newer versions of Windows 10, the tag support added by WMP Tag Plus didn't work anymore.
v2.6 [Aug 21, 2015]
Support for Windows Media Player 12 on the final (RTM) release of Windows 10.
On Windows 10, the plug-in now disables and hides its Apple Lossless support since it's not needed anymore there (Microsoft has added native support).
v2.5 [Apr 19, 2015]
Version 2.5 (March 29, 2015)
New: support for reading/writing star ratings in FLAC and Ogg Vorbis files.
New: support for reading/writing star ratings in MPEG-4 files (Windows Media Player 11 only). This is compatible with the native MPEG-4 star rating support in Windows Media Player 12.
New: when adding new extensions in WMP Tag Plus settings, the user is now asked to restart Windows Media Player for the changes to take effect. After the restart, WMP Tag Plus will scan all library locations again, so that existing files with the new extensions get added to the media library.
New: the aforementioned scan of all library locations is also performed when WMP Tag Plus has just been installed, and has also been added to the existing Refresh song tags scan.
Fixed: broken plug-in functionality on Windows 8.1 after installation of several Windows Updates. Special thanks to rv2798 and dynaxer for reporting.
Fixed: with WMP Tag Plus disabled, the usual warning at Windows Media Player startup didn't appear if the Comodo Firewall software was installed.
To prevent possible loss of all tags in a music file (as caused by an overzealous Windows Media Player, especially on Windows 8), WMP Tag Plus now ignores all tag delete requests for files whose duration isn't known yet in the library. Such files can be 'fixed' by using Refresh song tags in settings, after which all tag writes are allowed again.
v2.2 [Dec 7, 2013]
- Fixed: when trying to access the WMP Tag Plus settings while the plug-in was disabled, either the settings didn't appear or Windows Media Player crashed.
- Fixed: possible broken Apple Lossless support on Windows 8. Special thanks to Ralph Knox for reporting.
- Fixed: WMP Tag Plus didn't retrieve the duration of MPEG-4 files not containing any tags.
- Fixed: "Failed to set data for 'PerceivedType'" error on Windows Media Player startup in some circumstances.
- When installing WMP Tag Plus on Windows 7 or 8 with Windows Media Player Plus! already installed, MPEG-4 tag support was still disabled by default to prevent compatibility issues present in older versions of WMP Tag Plus. Because these issues have already been fixed in WMP Tag Plus 2.0, MPEG-4 tag support is now always enabled by default.
- Updated the included TagLib library to version 1.8. This, for one, means that WMP Tag Plus can now also read the audio properties (duration, bitrate etc.) of Musepack SV8 files.
v2.10 [Jun 7, 2012]
Fixed: crash when closing Windows Media Player after it had been opened by double-clicking a video file in Windows 7's Video library. Special thanks to Lieuandy for reporting and for testing the fix.
