Windows Media Player Plus! - Various enhancements for WMP Options

[Tim De Baets]

I would like to announce the release of Windows Media Player Plus!, a free plug-in that offers the following enhancements/improvements for WMP:

• Tag Editor Plus: an alternative for WMP's Advanced Tag Editor. Tag Editor Plus works on WMP 12 too, where the Advanced Tag Editor has been removed.
• Global hotkeys, allowing you to control WMP from within any running application.
• Party Shuffle: a dynamic playlist, that automatically gets filled up with randomly picked songs. Of course, you can still add songs yourself, and reorder/remove songs, just like with a normal playlist.
• Real 'find as you type' in the library: you can simply start typing to search, without having to click on the Search field first.
• Access the standard Explorer right-click menu of a media file directly from within WMP.
• Restore last active playlist, media item, and playback position at WMP startup.
• Show currently playing media in WMP's title bar.
• Advanced playback options: Stop after current and Close after current, to automatically stop playback or close WMP when the current media has ended.
• Let WMP play/pause when you press the space bar.
• Disable group headers in the Library Pane.
• Enhanced and configurable replacement of the Windows Live Messenger Music plug-in (What I'm Listening To).
• Access the properties (settings) of any WMP plug-in from within the main menu (Tools - Plug-in properties), without having to go to Options first.
• "Play next" option when right-clicking a media item in WMP 11's library (WMP 12 already has this by default).
• Quickly re-enable all plug-ins after a WMP crash.

Windows Media Player Plus! is written for Windows Media Player 11 and 12.

Dear all,

I use Windows 7 with WMP 12.
I have used tag editor since some months and I have installed tag editor plus 2.1. But now, I don't manage to change tags of my music.
I select a track, I launch tag editor, I see the windows "track info", I change an info, I select OK and the default below appears :


WM/Genre La demande est incorrecte dans l'état actuel. C00D002B

Can you help me ?

Does this happen with all your songs, or just one or a few? What's the file type of the affected songs (MP3, WMA, WAV...)?

Is that line the only item in the list of errors, or are there more?
