About the MetadataText Object
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
Some metadata attributes, such as WM/Lyrics_Synchronised, provide text accompanied by a description of the text. The MetadataText object provides a way to retrieve the text and the description separately. When you use Media.getItemInfoByType to retrieve information about complex textual attributes, you retrieve a MetadataText object that has properties, which contain the individual data.
