    I have a bunch of protected WMA-files (purchased from www.tdcmusik.dk) that MediaPortal cannot read. That is - after importing the files into the database - all of my music file-tags are read correctly, except these. They are represented in MediaPortal with an 'unknown' for artist, album, and track, while the length of the track is returned as "0:00". I have 10.500 files - all original and legal tracks - and only the 75 protected files from www.tdcmusik.dk, cannot be read. I have not any additional protected files from another online store.

    Other programs like e.g. winamp, WMP, tag&rename have no problems reading these files, and their tags are set correctly. Some time ago I made a little tagreading piece of software myself, that also can read these protected wma's.

    Any chance that this can be fixed, or is there a way to get MP to read these files from the filename and not using their tags, that obviously fail, while still reading tags for the remaining files?

    (Let me know if this should be placed in the bugs-folder instead)

    Thanks.

    Mackey - I'd recommend you post this message in this thread. Then the programmer that is working on myMusic can tell you (when he has time and is available) if it is doable.
