WMPTSE - How to add support for a filetype

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 [i]corrupted[i] file

Configuration

Launch Windows Media Player.

Display the WMPTSE property box (see WMPTSE - How to change the plug-in properties)
