After installing the Windows Media Format, to tag WMA files, the importing speed became very very slow. It took about 10 mins to import 2000 mp3s + 70 wmas.it used to take less than 10 secs to do so!....I'm using V.2.32.a on a P4 3Ghz system with highspeed HD.
any suggestions?

Could you try with the current development build?
