Still no way to browse music through folders! Urghhhh

Of course not! Did you expect any different? It's not built for that!

Edwin · Dec 29, 2022

I get the latest from the Store, but, it could be cuz my Store and Build is an Insider.

johnlgalt · Dec 29, 2022

That's probably it, since I'm not running IPs live anymore.

Everyone can get the latest version via this method I shared in another thread...

Media Player 11.2210.31.0 available via MS Generation Project

The latest Microsoft Media Player 11.2210.31.0 is available via this method... https://store.rg-adguard.net/ Then copy this link to the Media Player (without the quotes, obviously): "https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/windows-media-player/9WZDNCRFJ3PT?hl=en-us&gl=us" Make sure you choose...

I have 11.2210.33.0 downloaded from the Store. There doesn't seem to be a link to update to the latest version.

Further, I don't have a clue about where to find free music.

Yeah, I've majorly ignored Media Player and music all my computing life.

BTW, I'm running Windows 11 22H2 (OS Build 22621.963)

Latest version is 11.2211.36.0 and everyone can get it via this method I shared in another thread...

Nope, it doesn't work. So far, there is no way to open a link from within MediaPlayer 11.2210.33.0. Nor can I find an update link to the later versions listed here.

Same here, John. I don't have an Insider version running any more; just the general release version.

Doesn't this work for you?

No. I already have version 11.2210.33.0 downloaded and installed from the Store. The version this link refers to 11.2210.31.0 which is older than what I already have.

I'll go back and see what happens, but I'm not hopeful.

I run into the roadblock when I try to take the next step:

Then copy this link to the Media Player (without the quotes, obviously):
"Get Windows Media Player from the Microsoft Store"

There is absolutely nowhere to enter any quotes within Windows 11 Media Player/

Use the same method, first go to the site:

Microsoft Store - Generation Project (v1.2.3) [by @rgadguard & mkuba50]

Online link generator for Microsoft Store. You can use it to get links to almost all apps, games, themes from the Microsoft Store.

store.rg-adguard.net

Then copy this link to the Media Player and paste in the URL (link) box:
https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/windows-media-player/9WZDNCRFJ3PT?hl=en-us&gl=us

Make sure you choose Fast, to the right. Click on the check mark and you will get various options.

Scroll down and click on this link, it is the latest version:
Microsoft.ZuneMusic_11.2211.36.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle

You can open the MSIX file or save it on your desktop, then open it and it will update.

@Wynona:

Do this.

Open this link. Microsoft Store - Generation Project (v1.2.3) [by @rgadguard & mkuba50]
Copy this and paste it there in the search bar on that link: https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/windows-media-player/9WZDNCRFJ3PT?hl=en-us&gl=us
Do not try to open this as a web link / URL - you just need to copy it here and paste it there.
At the far right (just before the check mark), change RP to Fast
Click the check mark at the far right.
Use your browser scroll to find 11.2211.36.0:

You want to find the msixbundle for the version that you're looking for. The BlockMap file is useless, and you can see it is a tiny file, not gonna install anything. Verify for size at the right too.
Click that link for the correct version, download, then run it (sideloading it onto your system).

This method always works, you just have to find the most current version in the list. The search term in step 2 is not version dependent, only application dependent. So that search term will always find the versions of the Media player.

So, when the next version comes out, when someone reports it here, you do all of this again only looking for that new version.

Thank you, @johnlgalt for these instructions. I'd never have made it without your help!
