Windows Media Player Plus is a browser add-on that introduces extra functionality into updated versions of Windows Media Player.

The traditional Windows Media Player is often criticized for its lack of search features - it can be impossible to find a piece of media based on when it was downloaded, its album title, or other identifying metadata.

Windows Media Player Plus attempts to solve this problem by adding a more robust search tool that lets you find media based on advanced criteria. Without even having to click on the search bar, users can locate a song just by starting to type.

Additionally, the app is supplemented with a better tag editor for all media files. Users can adjust the title, album information, creation date, and other criterion for every audio file they have stored in Windows Media Player.

Users can even add album art for audio files. To make editing even easier, users can adjust the information for several tracks at once. This makes it very simple to organize playlists or albums together.

The app also offers enhanced customization options for the media player itself. For instance, it's possible to display the currently playing song on the program's title bar, which is not possible in the built-in media player itself.

In terms of music selection, users can also select Party Shuffle mode, which creates a dynamic playlist of randomly picked songs based on specific key words or tags. Just like with normal playlists, songs can be removed, ordered, or edited.

All users should keep in mind that Windows Media Player Plus is only compatible with versions 11 and 12 of the built-in media player.
