Windows Forum / Windows Media / Player / May 2008Windows Media player not listing flac files in library
Hello, I'm running Windows Media Player 11.0.6001.7000 on my XP machine it lists my flac files in the library. On this machine even though it plays the files in Windows Media player just fine - I can't get them to list in the library. Can you please tell me how to add file types to the library list? Thanks Try this: in Windows explorer go to a flac and check if "open with" is coupled to WMP > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Thanks Thanks - they do open with WMP and they do play fine - I just can't get them to add to the WMP library. > Try this: in Windows explorer go to a flac and check if "open with" is > coupled to WMP [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >> >> Thanks > Thanks - they do open with WMP and they do play fine - I just can't get > them to add to the WMP library. I went through a similar process with Ogg Vorbis files - they play, but won't add. When I went into settings and added the .oga filetype, it instantly forgot it, with no error message. In the end, I gave up, trusting that some future version of WMP will probably support the newer audio filetypes that are becoming popular.  SignatureSteve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk It's easy for any vendor to set this up right in their plug-in's registration. How they do this is documented on MSDN. This is a bug or limitation of your plug-in. It is NOT a bug in the player given the player generally can not effectively guess what any added plug-in wants to have happen. =\ SignatureSpeaking for myself only.

The information on how to get your file type added to the library properly is published on MSDN -- it looks like your plug-in provider either didn't read or doesn't support that functionality. So: ask your FLAC plug-in provider. =) SignatureSpeaking for myself only. See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.
