Description Michael Jahn 2005-03-05 13:44:22 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.4.3 with -fvisibility patch
OS:                Linux

I feel really dumb for even asking this, but could you please add support for wma tag reading? Amarok can play wma but won't show the tag information. 


Maybe the links provided below can help, if you decide to implement support for this format:

I am not sure, if I am allowed by the EULA to post a converted version of the spec, but you can mail me if you need it in a different format.

Okay, I am closing this one after finding this post:

If you have changed your mind since October, you are free to reopen the bug report :-)

I have made a set of patches to TagLib that support WMA. You can find them with instructions at
