Hi joketery-ga,
  
     The simplest way to access the attributes in a WMA or WMV file is
to use the Windows Media SDK. This SDK comes with a managed wrapper
that lets you easily access and modify file attributes with C# and
VB.net.
  
     You can download the Windows Media Format 9.5 SDK from:
      - http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsmedia/downloads/default.aspx

     The SDK provides source code for a managed wrapper which will
allow you to access the windows media API from .Net.
     It also contains a sample program written in C# that uses the
managed wrapper to allow you to add, modify and delete metadata for a
particular windows media file.
     For your convenience, I have translated the C# code to VB.Net.
You can download the compressed file containing the VS2005 solution
from here:
       - http://rapidshare.de/files/29397218/WmEdit.zip.html

    This VS2005 Solution file contains 3 projects:
      - WMFSDKWrapper: This is the managed wrapper written in C#
      - MetadataEdit: This is a console program written in C# that
allows you to edit the attributes of a windows media file.
      - VBMetadataEdit: This is a console program written in VB.net
that allows you to edit the attributes of a windows media file.

Run the console application from the command prompt with no arguments
to see its usage instructions. The source code is pretty simple and
self-explainatory.

  - Windows Media Attribute Reference
    [http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmplay10/mmp_sdk/attributereference.asp]
     Contains a list of all the windows media attributes categorised by media type.

    [https://www.mainfunction.com/DotNetInAction/Technologies/display.aspx?ID=2626]
    Look at the 'Obsolete Already' section for some vb.net code that
utilizes the windows media sdk to reat file tags.



If you need any more information, or any clarifications, just post a request.

Hope this helps!
