This post has what you need to be able to play APE, FLAC, OGG, MPC, Quicktime and Real media files in WMP10.

First you need the directshow filters, which you can download below.
For Quicktime and Realmedia you will also have to download Real Alternative and Quicktime Alternative.
Second if you want to register these media types to open with WMP10 just scroll down to the second post to see how.

Associate Exta Media Types with Windows Media Player.

Below is the contents of WMP_AssociateFiletypes.reg and WMP_AssociateFiletypes.cmd, they both do the same job. The advantage to using RegTweaks is if applied early in setup it will apply to all windows user accounts.

WMAfile designates an extension as "Windows Media Audio File"
ASFFile designates an extension as "Windows Media Audio/Video File"
