When i am using windows xp with WMP 11, adding lyrics, album art  and even synchronized lyrics is so easy, just right click the song, then select advanced tag editor.

The Advanced Tag Editor (ID3 tag editor), which allows users to edit information, is such an important feature, but I don't understand why Microsoft actually remove this feature.

So may i ask, how to add lyrics and album art in WMP 12. Find album info feature in WMP12 is really not that useful.  Japanese, korean and chinese songs when using find album info, usually nothing is found.

WMP12 is really irritating.

That's because you can't do it inside the WMP12. You have to do it from the windows explorer, right click on the file > properties > Summary > Advanced > then you can add the lyrics inside the lyrics field... you see it's really a hustle :(

    very easy but I don't have the option to add lyrics. I can add all kinds of other information, but there is no field for lyrics. MP3 file. I've seen it and I've used it, but not on Player 12. It's also new to me and I can't find it.

    Is there a way around it? or is it the download of the music that has changed the way is saved?

    Thanks... is frustrating when something simple turns out to be so difficult.
