Installing the Windows Media Format SDK version 11 made no difference
when running the player example from mobility 1.1

I have the same problem with Phonon.

Which means if I want to write a cross-platform metadata loader that
works with MP3s on windows, I can't use Phonon or Multimedia. That's
nuts.

I wish someone would test this particular configuration on windows some day.
I can't be the only person who is trying to do it.
