Errors reading WMA tags (2 Viewers)

It seems that Microsoft uses the freely available documentation to keep us behind our PCs

I have ripped 100+ albums in the wma lossless format. I used this format because it was the only lossless format supported by the application I used at that time for streaming my music. Later on I switched to an HTPC with MediaPortal and kept my files. If I had to do it again I would switch to FLAC.

My situation exactly. I have about 500 albums ripped in the WMA lossless format. I'm not about to convert all of these to a different format just to move away from WMA (Microsoft). I use Windows Media Player to manage my music, and sync with my portable player. It all work and sound great.

As for you who "don't understand why anyone would use this codec", I ask, why not? What's wrong with it? It's lossless, so it works as a good backup for the CD. Please tell me what FLAC will give me that lossless WMA will not (without bringing up the "I hate Microsoft" argument).

Hi,
I think many of us have done the same here, use M$ because didn't think of other tools & or that you could get Album info & art easily
He, he, he now at least i know better.... re ripping several hundred cd's ain't fun.
