WMP calls _wcsicmp from msvcrt.dll to compare the strings. Are you
interested in writing a third-party metadata plug-in too? It's probably
unnecessary to start from scratch; Cristian Adam is already showing
interest to make such a plug-in. It will likely have pluggable tag
support (just like WMP Tag Support Extender), allowing you to write a
tag support dll for whatever third-party format you like.
