I'm afraid I no longer use Windows much. This program was one of the last thing tethering me to the OS until I realized how well it runs in wine. But occasionally I get wma files. As I recall Mp3tag in Windows would ask if I wanted to download wma support, but it doesn't do that in Linux.
I located and downloaded a file called wmfdist.exe and installed it in wine. But it doesn't seem to help me write tags for wma files in Mp3tag (though I can now see them in mp3tag when I load a directory). Does anyone have a solution?
Edit: Hmm, it seems to write some wma file tags but not others. Oh well, no biggie. I always convert wma files to something else anyway.
