Windows Media Player Plus! is a free plug-in for Windows Media Player that adds various user interface and playback enhancements.

Features:

• Tag Editor Plus: an alternative for Windows Media Player’s Advanced Tag Editor (screenshot). Tag Editor Plus works on Windows Media Player 12 too, where the original Advanced Tag Editor has been removed.
• Global hotkeys, allowing you to control Windows Media Player from within any running application.
• Party Shuffle: a dynamic playlist that automatically gets filled with randomly picked songs. Of course, you can still add songs yourself, and reorder/remove songs, just like with a normal playlist. Very useful while throwing a party, as a DJ aid, or just for casual listening.
• Real ‘find as you type’ in the media library: you can simply start typing to search, without having to click on the Search field first.
• Disc number (‘set’) support in the media library: shows disc numbers in the Track number column and makes Windows Media Player use the disc numbers for sorting the tracks of an album (screenshot).
• Access the standard Explorer right-click menu of a media file directly from within Windows Media Player (screenshot).
• Restore last active playlist, media item, and playback position at Windows Media Player startup.
• Show currently playing media in Windows Media Player’s title bar (screenshot).
• Advanced playback options: Stop after current and Close after current, to automatically stop playback or close Windows Media Player when the current media has ended (screenshot).
• Let Windows Media Player play/pause when you press the space bar.
• Disable group headers in the Library Pane (screenshot).
• Enhanced and configurable replacement of the Windows Live Messenger Music plug-in (What I’m Listening To) (screenshot).
• Show currently playing media in Skype’s mood message.
• Access the properties/settings of any Windows Media Player plug-in from within the main menu (Tools – Plug-in properties), without having to go to Options first (screenshot).
• Bring back the “Find in library” right-click option of older versions of Windows Media Player to Windows Media Player 12.
• “Play next” option when right-clicking a media item in Windows Media Player 11’s library (Windows Media Player 12 already has this by default).
• Quickly re-enable all plug-ins after a Windows Media Player crash (screenshot).

Windows Media Player Plus! supports Windows Media Player 12 on all recent releases of Windows.
