    WMP 11 Not Adding .FLAC files to Library

    Hey guys, My new X-Series walkman arrives this week and i want to add my media to it with all the album art etc present in it.

    However WMP 11 seems not to want to add FLAC files to the library. How do i fix this?

    I can play files due to downloading a codec but it won't add them. Useless software!! USELESS MICROPOO.

    Re: WMP 11 Not Adding .FLAC files to Library

    There are plugins available which will display FLAC metadata in the WMP library (examples here and here), but they're not 100% reliable in my experience. You'd be better off using a player which supports FLAC natively, such as foobar2000 or MediaMonkey.

    I'm not familiar with the Walkman you mention, but assuming it has FLAC support is there no way of adding files without using WMP?

    if you try the WMP tag extender, with the ogg codecs installed it should work fine?

    With the power of google.

    this result looks like it should do the trick:
