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 :(

    Hopefully they would make Lyricplugin work offline. I mean after Lyricplugin downloaded the lyric from Internet, it would save it on Local disk for future using whenever Internet is not available. That would be great.

    But pity that on the homepage, they didn't place any kind of feedback.

    Exactly, WMP 12 is very annoying, as ive been using the advance tag editor since WMP 9, and it was very easy to edit and sync the lyrics. But when using Win 7, even in Windows Explorer, there's no such thing as adding lyrics feature in Summary.

    With Lyrics Plugin installed, still it cant find Japanese and Korean lyrics properly. Most of the results will be romanized lyrics which are hard to be read.

    Anyone have better suggestion besides Lyrics PLugin and Minilyrics?
