How to write a plug-in for Windows Media Player 11 that will extract tags from audio files (OGG in particular) to allow Media Library support? I was looking for some info at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb249681.aspx but I failed to find out what to start with. What interfaces should I implement? How to connect them later to the WMP? And what would I have to do if I wanted to have a plug-in for reading/writing audio files of a particular type (in this case again OGG). I know there are already plug-ins for OGG doing that. However: 1) I was not quite pleased with them (however now I am unable to recall why, but in the end I moved to foobar2000 instead of WMP) and 2) I just want to do it to learn something new.

Have you tried getting in touch with the WMP Tag Support Extender peoples? -- Speaking for myself only. See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.
