Order of Precedence

Not all metafile element attributes are created equal. Some metafile element attributes override other element attributes. Element attributes can be overridden by similar element attributes depending on position and order. Any attributes of a metafile playlist override those contained in a referenced Windows Media file. An attribute that overrides another has higher precedence.

The hierarchy, highest precedence to lowest, is shown in the following table. The highest precedence item is never overridden.

Scope Hierarchy
"Signed DRM content" Never overridden.
REF element scope Only overridden by signed DRM content.
ENTRY element scope Overrides elements of the categories below.
ASX scope Overrides media file elements.
Windows Media file scope Overridden by all of the above.
