When I select a directory with WMA files in it, they do not load into MP3TAG.

Florian -
Thanks for the quick reply... unfortunatly it did not work. I am running MP3Tag 2.27 and also the latest version of WIndows Media Player 9 (I just checked it for updates to be sure) on an XP machine. Just to make sure I was not missing something, I also ran the DLL update in the post you referred me to.
Still, when I select a folder with WMA files in it, nothing shows in MP3Tag. I even tried to uninstall and reonstall MP3Tag and it did not work...
Any other thoughts?
Thanks for the help!

Is the \*.wma file extension listed at Options, Tags?

Yes, in that field I think I have the default...
\*.aac; \*.ape; \*.flac; \*.mp1; \*.mp2; \*.mp3; \*.mp4; \*.m4a; \*.m4b; \*.mpc; \*.ogg; \*.ofr; \*.ofs; \*.spx; \*.tta; \*.wma; \*.wv;

Another user of Mp3tag has reported that installing [Windows Media Player 10](http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/download.aspx) solved his problems.
