TagLib unfortunately does not include WMA support, since its author does not wish to support it.

do you know the reason why?

I don't know.
I hope these are not licensing/patenting issues?

i know that mp4 support in taglib was included quite quickly after my request in the amarok bugtracker... so taglib people usually have good reasons for doing things the way they do. that's why i'm skeptical using this patch on the official taglib pkg.

OK. Feel free to close this bug ("Won't implement"). :-)
