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.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
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 :(

You may have heard about this plugin for Windows media player that automaticaly adds lyrics to songs. I was scepticle at first, maybe a scam or a virus. But I'm serious it really works. You just search for lyrics plugin for windows media player. They even have a tutorial video on youtube. It works like a miracle. And it you don't get the right lyrics, you can edit them. It works for foreign languages like Japanese too. It puts them in romaji for me, and then gives the translation. It's great.
And what is the name if this plugin you mention that actually worked for you, there is 100s out there.
Jonjamg: the Windows Media Player Plus! plug-in adds a new tag editor to WMP.
I miss the Advanced Tag Editor so much!! WMP12 is useless for my purposes! I collect 78 recordings and added a picture of the record as Album Art and included loads of information in the Description which is all obviously still on my mp3 files as MP12 uses the album art etc but I can no longer add or edit over 7,000 mp3 files within MP12. I have to use my old pc with xp to do this, so what was the point of buying a new laptop with Windows 7 on? Microsoft are ignoring all of these comments! They ask for feedback to improve their programs but there has not been a response to the similar posts that date from over 12 months ago!!
thanks Sirturanov.
